Thanks Jim, I've uploaded a new version (0.9.2) which incorporates
your patch.

Yeah, tough call.  I don't see an easy general solution but for the
moment I've uploaded version 0.9.3 which offers the following
workaround:

  <http://weitz.de/rdnzl/#*coerce-double-floats-to-single*>

You should be able to (temporarily) rebind this variable to T for
single float arguments.  Well, UNLESS your .NET method's signature
contains both System.Single /and/ System.Double.

Let me know if that helps or if you have a better idea.

Cheers,
Edi.

Yep, thanks, that (and adding :LANGUAGE :ANSI-C) did the trick!  I've
uploaded 0.9.4 which should work now.

Could you please test?  I'm a bit in a hurry because we're moving to a
new flat on Wednesday... )

Thanks for your help,
Edi.
