I'd like to take a number, ie. 123456.78 and print it as 123,456.78 . If this info is in the manual (SCO), I can't find it or it is not written clearly enough to say that what it does. If printf does not have this ability, it should be added. thanks in advance.... Scotty {ames,rutgers,texsun,smu}!attctc!ozdaltx!sysop
