[Gd-hackers] String-to-float in OpenDylan

[Gareth Baker]

String-to-float seems to have gone awol in OpenDylan (at least I can't find
it in any library definition). There is a reference to it in one of the duim
sources and an atof function in lexer.dylan. Is this atof function suitable
for re-exporting as a string-to-float function in common-dylan (i.e. Could I
just do a temporary cut-and-paste into my sources)?

Thanks in advance
Gareth Baker
