on the topic of formatting output

[chris hermansen]

Hello all,

I should begin by saying I'm not a huge fan of Algol 68 transput.  Hence
this suggestion...

I wonder if, at least as a temporary workaround, the GNU Algol 68 compiler
could be interfaced with a library like

https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt

giving us the ability to do some pretty reasonable formatted output in
conjunction with puts() and fputs()

In the meantime, I've been messing with my versions of whole(), fixed() and
now two new ones: bitstring() and hexstring(), and I'm attaching them to
this email in case anyone should happen to want them.  (Note that my
whole() and fixed() don't work quite the same way as the standard).
