[Gcl-devel] GCL numbers too long!

[Stewart W. Wilson]

I want to use GCL instead of paying for Allegro.
But GCL often prints numbers with too many places.
Example

>(+ 1.234 2.567)

3.8010000000000002

>

The extra 13 places clutter up files and unformatted printouts.
How can I fix this?  Is there some GCL parameter to set?

Thanks for your help!

P.S.  To the above problem, Allegro returns 3.801
