Subject: Bug Report: Missing strtod in 386BSD, plus code
Organization: NeoSoft Communications Services -- (713) 684-5900
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1992 21:50:06 GMT
Message-ID: <1992Aug16.215006.16480@NeoSoft.com>
Lines: 271
The Texas chapter of Friends of 386BSD sends its greetings! :-)
The strtod function is documented in /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtod.3,
but the manpage says the function is not currently available, and
it isn't.
Here is the free strtod.c from the Berkeley Tcl 6.4 release:
