I would guess this comes from Fortran. Real values are printed with "e", those with double precision printed with "d". And as one usually uses double precision in Fortran, one ends up with several data files with "d" instead of "e" as exponent. Tobias PS: I think it is a stupid idea, but as - an excuse - Fortran is quite old (and even worked with punched cards).
