Problem? with float()

[chris hermansen]

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem printing anything beyond one or more asterisks with
the float proc.

At first I thought it was just my inexperience / ignorance, so I tried some
examples from McGettrick:

begin
  puts(float(123.4567,12,5,2));
  puts("'n");
  puts(float(123.4567,-10,5,-1));
  puts("'n");

  skip
end

He suggests this should produce

+12.34567e+1
 1.23457e2 (blank just in front)

Am I missing something?  Thanks in advance!
