The Tcl code can be fonund here: http://tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl/generic/tclStrToD.c?view=markup What Tim says gives another reason for using that code - it means that currently, the compilation of the same source code on two platforms can result in a code which does different things. Just to make sure - IEEE does require that operations on doubles will do the same thing on different platforms, right?
