behaviour of "save" function by saving int16 vector

[Prof. Dr. Peter Schulz]

Hi,

why is octave, when using "save" for writing an int16 vector/matrix with 
-ascii option,
writing the integer numbers in exponential form and not as plain integer 
numbers?

I'd like to adjust this so that I only have pure integer numbers in the 
file like they
are shown in the workspace window. Is it possible?

Kind regards

Peter Schulz

fs = 48000;
freq1 = 1000;
tone1 = 0.5*sin(2*pi*freq1* (1:.1*fs)/fs);
freq2 = 1011;
tone2 = 0.25*sin(2*pi*freq2* (1:.1*fs)/fs);
tone_sum = tone1 + tone2;
tone_sum_int16 = int16(round(tone_sum * 0x7fff));
save -ascii tone_mix.txt tone_sum_int16;
