# -Q1E- Why do I get format and scan errors when I run tclTest (NeXT, AIX, etc.)?

    From: -I- Questions on building Tcl and friends on your system

    A1G. That's a problem (scanf/printf) many systems seem to have.  Don't
    worry too much about it - just don't use these 'advanced' features.  If
    you're hacking C, you'll have the same problems.

    For instanct, printf("%Ng, double_value) and strtod("+",&terminal) produce
    incorrect results.
