Judah> good point. That one hadn't occured to me.
However, how often does that really happen? I think most code doesn't
mix precisions this way, so if maxima had a way of saying I want e or
d exponent markers on Fortran output, that would go a long way. At
least the amount of editing would be minimized.
I'll look into it, but no promises.
The ideal solution, of course, is if you didn't need the Fortran
output and could run whatever you needed within maxima itself. :-)
