Floating Point:
I ran into a conversion problem with an atof function on this
string."-0.38124628887886702E-09". Works on djgpp and BC4. This first reared
its head in an fscanf conversion. Bombs with a exception trapped. Shortening
it down to 5 numbers to the right of the decimal point will work, but I need
the precision. There seems to be related threads to this problem. Does
anybody have a quick fix?

Stack Size: 
Can't seem to find any documentation on how to change the stack size. Either
with a statement or switch. Got a large program that works OK under UNIX,
but when I try to port it to win32 I run out of stack space. THX
