Hi again,

Below 2 quotes about CONVFMT’s default value, from the pdf version of the Gawk manual.

The first one is about "printing a value", which I think is somewhat misleading as OFMT is relevant when printing values.

The second one uses "at least" where I guess it should read "at most".

Regards, Hermann

page 99:
CONVFMT’s default value is "%.6g", which prints a value with at most six significant digits.

page 316:
CONVFMT’s default value is "%.6g", which yields a value with at least six significant digits.
