I don't believe so. I think that the formatting you get with display and write are sufficient for Basic format strings. Remember that with this SRFI, you can format reals using the RnRS math operations and several instances of the display or write escape sequences. I do agree that if there is ever an Advanced format strings SRFI that such things should be included. The goal of this SRFI is primarily to specify the lowest common denominator of what format does on most Scheme systems. Scott --
