Subject: Long floats

	Is there such number type as "long float" in djgpp?  I looked through
the gcc docs and found a "long long" but not a "long float".  What I need is
an extended (>double) precision floating point type.  I tried "long double" and
the compiler compiled just fine; the only problem was that I got a "floating
point exception" when I tried printing it with printf("%f") or "%lf".  Is it
possible?
