/*
**  ASCII TO FLOATING CONVERSION
**
**	Converts the string 'str' to floating point and stores the
**	result into the cell pointed to by 'val'.
**
**	Returns zero for ok, negative one for syntax error, and
**	positive one for overflow.
**	(actually, it doesn't check for overflow)
**
**	The syntax which it accepts is pretty much what you would
**	expect.  Basically, it is:
**		{<sp>} [+|-] {<sp>} {<digit>} [.{digit}] {<sp>} [<exp>]
**	where <exp> is "e" or "E" followed by an integer, <sp> is a
**	space character, <digit> is zero through nine, [] is zero or
**	one, and {} is zero or more.
**
**	History:
**		2/12/79 (eric) -- fixed bug where '0.0e56' (zero
**			mantissa with an exponent) reset the
**			mantissa to one.
