29/Jun/98 - Additions to C lib

In accordance with the latest working draft of the ANSI standard, the following changes have been made:

• The %a and %A formats have been added to printf and related functions to support the output of floating point numbers in hexadecimal format.
• scanf and related functions support a new %a format for reading %a and %A values written by printf. The strtod function also supports the new format.
• The snprintf function has been added. This is similar to sprintf but lets you specify a maximum length n.
