: Have you tried using %lf here?

Why? According to the docs, %hf is for floats, %f is for doubles and
%lf is for long doubles (what's that? same as doubles, for DJGPP?).
Scanf differs.

: P.S. I think that conforming to ANSI %f is for float, %lf for double and %Lf
: for long double. But since the way these are implemented on x86 platforms it
: ussualy works with any format.

Ummm, I don't think so. But then again, who am I? :)
