Re: [Gcl-devel] help fixing edit_double, failure to print 1d-6 for gcl-2.6.8

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I think this should do it:

--- /home/camm/debian/gcl/gclttt/o/print.d      2013-01-15 19:44:49.000000000 
+0000
+++ print.d     2013-09-28 14:53:26.000000000 +0000
@@ -388,6 +390,10 @@
 
   truncate_double(b,d,n!=7);
 
+  if (isdigit(b[0])) {
+    b[1]=b[0];
+    (*ep)++;
+  }
   if (b[2]=='0') (*ep)++;
   b[2] = b[1];
   p = b + 2;

Please let me know if problems persist.

BTW, can you field a few mingw questions?

Take care,
