Re: [ferret_users] list/precision

Hi Carol,
Try this example, I think it works as expected. If you don't see the 
same results, then I need to know what version of Ferret you're running, 
and on what operating system. The list command does do some automatic 
formatting,  in an attempt to fit the data on the lines. LIST/FORMAT= 
will give you more control, but also less automatic  output like the 
line headers.

! list to files, first without /PREC= and then with.
