+<P>The actual format used depends on the current step value. If
+the step value has been set to zero then a %g format is used.
+If the step value is non-zero, then a %.*f format is used,
+where the precision is calculated to show sufficient digits
+for the current step value. An integer step value, such as 1
+or 1.0, gives a precision of 0, so the formatted value will
+appear as an integer.</P>

 <P>This method is used by the <TT>Fl_Value_...</TT> group of widgets to 
 format the current value into a text string. 
 The return value is the length of the formatted text.
