I am working from document X3J11/88-159, which says under %g: "The double argument is converted in the style f or e (or in style E in the case of a G conversion specifier), with the precision specifying the number of digits. If the precision is zero, it is taken as 1. The style used depends on the value converted..." It then goes on to describe when weach format is used, and that trailing zeroes, etc. should be removed. What do you see that I don't? - Brad ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brad Daniels | Digital Equipment Corp. almost DEC Software Devo | definitely wouldn't approve of "VAX C RTL Whipping Boy" | anything I say here...
