Bizarre.  First, this doesn't answer the question.  fcvt would convert a
double to a _string_, not an int.  Last I heard, "string" and "int" don't
mean the same thing.  Second, fcvt is Borland-specific and not ANSI C.  As
such, it's not a very good suggested, even if it solved the problem the
original poster was asking about.

The correct (and trivially simple) thing to do is a typecast:

    float f = /* ... */;
    int i = (int) f;
