Hi,
I'm using the borland toolset 5.8.2 under Win XP and have a problem 
doing the following:

  double val = 795.6352;
  string result = boost::lexical_cast <string> (val);

the resulting string is:  "795.63520000000005"    with boost 1_35_0
the resulting string is: "795.6352000000001" with boost_1_34_0
Can anybody help?
