All,
Apparently MinGW provides a work-around for the non-standard Windows
behavior of printing 3 exponent digits through the environment variable
PRINTF_EXPONENT_DIGITS. If this variable is set to 2 then only two digits
will be displayed.
Sample code:
octave-cli:1> format short e
octave-cli:2> pi
ans = 3.1416e+000
octave-cli:3> setenv ("PRINTF_EXPONENT_DIGITS", "2")
octave-cli:4> pi
ans = 3.1416e+00
Should we look to put something in Octave's start-up code which sets this
environment variable when MinGW is detected?
