Hello,
I have some troubles useing the command atof (convert string to double);
the following code isn't produceing the correct results. Can anybody tell me
what the mistake might be? (It occures also, if I use strtod; on the other
hand, atoi (convert str to integer) is working perfectly:-( )

int     main(int argc, char *argv)
{
  char   *zahl="153.34";
  char   *err;
  double out_f;
  out_f=atof(zahl);
//  out_f=strtod(zahl,&err);
  printf("strtod() : %f\n",out_f);
  printf("err=%c\n",*err);
  return(0);
}

Thanx,
BertI
