Read the man page:

       -w, --equal-width
              equalize width by padding with leading zeroes

It says it will pad with leading zeroes. Why are you expecting it to pad 
with trailing zeroes? Looks like a bug in 5.94 as it is doing more than 
the spec says it must.

Use this command:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ seq -f %.2f 0 0.25 1
0.00
0.25
0.50
0.75
1.00
