Description
  xxxxx@xxxxx  

We are in need of a method to set
the precision for the output of doubles.  The data
output stream will not suffice as we need an ascii
representation of our data for portability purposes
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
Though some of this can be found in java.text.NumberFormat, there should
be a simpler way of doing this in US english locales.
