Personally the idea is that format only deals with formats and if you want to print the format you use print_format() which sold be added to the print library so print deals with the output as it should. It could be interesting to split a value into separate figures ascii or real for instance to send to a 7 segment display or other applications. > > I don't know how we could do this.

Ok, but do you and the others like the concept or should we only modify format that it’s the same as the print lib but with the addition of controlling the format?
