James .... 

  I installed your  sqlrpt  program under debian linux
  and managed to successfully run it with an sql query
  from a file .... 

    $ sqlrpt -d ../db/test.sql3 -q "`cat stocks_list.sql`" > stocks.out

  and display the output via the  man  command .... 

    $ man ./stocks.out

  The question is .... 

    Can the floating point numbers be formatted
    for example .... ah la .... %8.4f

  I have seen the width option under the format column specifiers
  in  man tbl  but haven't tried using it with the sqlrpt -f option ....
