I can't seem to get the atof function to work , and implore the net's assistance. Here's the basics: 0. Using Borland's Turbo C 2.0. 1. math.h and stdio.h are included. 2. This is the line that continually bombs: rec_in.wholesale = atof (*pb); 3. wholesale is of type float, part of a structure named rec_in. *pb is a pointer to a string. I've looke at pb before execution and it contains "4055" (without the double quotes). After the line is executed the following error pops up: scanf : floating point formats not linked Also... where can I find what error messages like this mean? E-mail replies appreciated. Offers to do my homework accepted. Summaries upon request. Thanks. Steve ----- Steve Huff, student, University of Kansas "Still love that KU basketball!"
