Help with BDSC float

[Andrew M. Moore]

   My BDS C compiler doesn't want to accept  %6.3f  (example) in printf's.
Nor does it accept "float" as a data type declaration.  On some compilers,
I don't have to declare a variable as "float" before using it:

	printf("Float: %6.3f", (5.0/4.0));

...but in BDS, this is not accepted.  How is "float" different in BDS C?
