'long double' is a required type in a conforming compiler.  gcc and g++
in the djgpp project certainly support it.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    long double x = 1.3;
    printf("x = %Lf\n", x);
    return 0;
}

And don't believe any messages like:
`warning: ANSI C does not support the `L' length modifier'
Just ignore them.
