Two LaTeX table formatting questions:

1. 	Is there an easy way to format numbers in a table aligned vertically
	by decimal point? 
2. 	Can numbers be easily `rounded' in LaTeX? 

In some ways I'm looking for a format command similar to (forgive me!) FORTRAN.

For example, how would I print a table of the following sort:

	1.234	1.2345	1.2
	 .323	 .7890	 .1
       -2.009	 .0902   .3


Thanks!
