Math suffices do not work in printf either: ksh -c 'builtin printf ; printf "%f\n" 1.1f;:' /home/thm/bin/ksh: printf: 1.1f: arithmetic syntax error /home/thm/bin/ksh: printf: 1.1f: arithmetic syntax error /home/thm/bin/ksh: printf: warning: invalid argument of type f 1.100000 Tina -- Tina Harriott - Women in Mathematics Contact: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
