 Ok understandable. I think the column spacing should atleast be increased a
 notch to accomodate "100" without overlapping with a value next to it.
 
 I didn't intend to include the precision change in my diff - that kinda
 slipped in by accident because I use it. I don't think it's necessary
 either, but would be a nice option to enable on the command line.
 
 Will %4.0f still be too big for 80 column terms?
 
 
 Thanks,
 Aragon
