It works!! I got it to work on the amiga about 1:30 this afternoon. if you use %.*s that is. The only problem with this function will be in the %f format, the last digit may not round properlysince Lattice C lacks the fcvt() function and I had to use ecvt instead. It was fun wading through all the comments in the code, who writes those things anyway? Not someone you would want to invite home for dinner I'm sure. Someone should write a book "Strange Unix comments I have read", I'm sure it would be very funny. Will send you source today, I hope. Bye.
