This was an oversight. I typically use FS. when I need to specify the number of digits shown. F. will be modified to conform to the standard -- it is not an immediately pressing issue, but thanks for pointing it out. >> 1e f. 1 ok >> 1e4 f. 10000 ok > > F. specifies a required ".", but that's missing here. > The only indication in the standard that a trailing "." appears is the example in the appendix; otherwise, my reading of the standard is ambiguous on the trailing decimal point. It should be explicitly stated if the trailing decimal point was the intent. -- Krishna
