Would you mind forwarding me a copy of your code?  How did you format
the floating point values to a 9-character limit.  This functionality  
didn't
exist in older MzScheme's (I implemented a hackish way of doing so using
SRFI 13);

Or did you just use the default floating point output for your test?

Thanks,
