Subject: using scanf to read long double?
To: DJGPP Mailing list <djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu>

I have recently come across what I believe to be a bug in the scanf code. 
The length specifier 'L' doesn't seem to be recognized. This is quite 
unfortunate as I need more precision than I can get with the format 
specifier "%lf" which only gives me a double.

The compiler, which usually checks the parameters to scanf does not 
object to the use of "%Lf" which I think it should since the library 
doesn't support it. 

Any suggestion is most welcome.
