I will change to sprintf tonight. Thanks for the info, I did think it was ANSI.

No, gcvt() is not ANSI C, it is an old System V function. For ANSI
C compliance, sprintf() should be used instead. Quoting from the
info page of gcvt():

  -- Function: char * gcvt (double VALUE, int NDIGIT, char *BUF)
      `gcvt' is functionally equivalent to `sprintf(buf, "%*g", ndigit,
      value'.  It is provided only for compatibility's sake.  It returns
      BUF.

      If NDIGIT decimal digits would exceed the precision of a `double'
      it is reduced to a system-specific value.

I already noticed it earlier, but did not comment on the use of gcvt()
as it is not my code and is not included in the main API library.
