Hi,
I am trying to use SRFI-48 under Guile and Gauche for formatting fixed
point output. Thanks for creating the SRFI - here is some feedback,
I have tested SRFI-48 using the code posted here on Jun 5th (there is no
version in source code) using both Guile and Gauche Scheme interpreters
and I find the following apparent formatting errors:
=======================================================================

**FAIL: expected: "     1.026"
 got:  "     1.260"
 from: (format "~10,3F" 1.0256)

**FAIL: expected: "     1.002"
 got:  "     1.200"
 from: (format "~10,3F" 1.0025)

**FAIL: expected: "     1.003"
 got:  "     1.300"
 from: (format "~10,3F" 1.00256)

**FAIL: expected: "1.000012"
 got:  "1.120000"
 from: (format "~8,6F" 1.00001234)

Here are the tests that were run:
