It should be pointed out that for a while, maybe a couple releases at some point this past fall, something related to the OP's question was the default behavior - that is, floats only showed up to their last non-zero digit. I think it was a patch from robertwb, but I'm not sure, and in any case it no longer is the case. Does anybody know what happened to that? I would really like that back, at least in things like interacts, but even if it was jettisoned for good reasons, it would be nice to know what happened. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
