In using J 2.9 on a sun4, I noticed what looks like a bug to me: _20.1 ": 1e_10 ******************** _20.1 ":1e10 1.0e10 _20.1 ": 1e_3 1.0e_3 The field width looks too narrow for the negative two digit exponential, but 20 characters is certainly enough overall. Three digit exponentials also cause problems for format (limit errors for positive exponents). -- Sam Sirlin Jet Propulsion Laboratory sam@kalessin.jpl.nasa.gov

Article <1991Jun21.210356.7574@jato.jpl.nasa.gov> sam@kalessin.jpl.nasa.gov (Sam Sirlin): Sam, thank you for forwarding your observations. a) _20.1 ": 1e_10 should not have resulted in asterisks. b) numbers with 3-digit exponents should not have signalled limit errors. These bugs will be corrected in the next version. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Hui Iverson Software Inc., 33 Major Street, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2K9 (416) 925 6096

_20.1 ": 1e_3

Following this note I tried this:
": 4j5
4j5
and also
4":4j5
4
I expected both components to be formated the same way. Am I wrong?
