As a quick and dirty hack, I used if (sscanf(...,"%f",&...) != 1) at the position where strtod is used. This is reflected in the above referred patchkit. Furthermore, for xview clock, the 'rint()' function is missing. A fast hack, which does not cause much trouble in the used context is #define rint(X) ((double)((long)X)) Holger -- | | / Dr. Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.fb9dv.uni-duisburg.de |__| / University of Duisburg | "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | | / Dept. of Electr.
