Convert float to string

[Quinn]

I've got this section of code that is working, but the strings that
are returned are not correct.

wload.setText(Convert.toString(wingload));

I think I;m starting with the value of wingload as 21.5, but the
string that is returned is displayed as 2.15. I then put this in
before the convert:

wingload = wingload * 10;

but it still displays as 2.15.

I'm developing this in SuperWaba 3.5a on a Palm 3.5 device with the
Sun j2sdk 1.4.2.

Thanks for any help

I have not heard of the Convert class before. I proposed it to
replace the hodgepodge of conversion methods. See
http://mindprod.com/converter.html for the classic code to convert to
String that will behave as expected.
