Richard, Fortan?! A few of us ancient geezers can read and write that script and yes, C can do f and e formats, too. You probably want to change the formats in the ctl_putdbl() routine in ntp_control.c.
I once read a book "How to Lie with Statistics". We have a case in point. Remember, the bits below the precision factor are purposely set to a tandom bitsting, so a readout in nanoseconds is truly misleading, unless the precision (time to read the system clock) is less than one microsecond.
