check the type of the argument and use the apropiate one.

thanks alkis

both are included, only int stuff, for some coordinates:

    switch (bi->ndigits)
            {
            case 0:
                    l = abs((int)storeit[1]);
                    if (l > 9999) l = 9999;
                    sprintf(buffer,"%.4d",l);
                    break;
            case 1:
                    l = abs((int)storeit[1]);
                    if (l > 99999) l = 99999;
                    sprintf(buffer,"%.6d",l);
                    break;
            default:
                    l = abs((int)storeit[1]);
                    if (l > 99999999) l = 99999999;
                    sprintf(buffer,"%.8d",l);
                    break;
            }

sc:include/math.h only has fabs
sc:include/stdlib.h only defines abs #ifndef _cplusplus

stdlib.h has a labs "long int", should i use this?

#2) the CODE=FAR issue went away, after I disabled the strstream stuff.
it's a lot stuff to replace - so i just disabled the load and save routines, for now

#3) the strsteam stuff i'll replace with the working c alternative, shouldn't matter
