hi, i wouldn't know, all I know is that C, Mathematica, php whatever I used in my life, i never ran into this. sure, it's about formatted output (the distinction between generic output and latex(expr) escapes me: I just look at the notebook). A filter which processes the result to be printed and trims to a desired (printing) precision maybe? would suit everybody I guess. It's not even about zeros: all i need is two digits after the dot, exceptionally 3 (yes, it's economics, a 2 digit science) thanks again m
