Hi,

Form() apparently is failing to convert floats to doubles.  Is this a
known thing?

shell> cat form_float.C
 {
     float r1 = 3.0;
     float r2 = 4.0;
     cout << Form("r1=%f r2=%f",r1,r2) << endl;
 }
shell> root -b -l -q form_float.C 
root [0] 
Processing form_float.C...
r1=512.000123 r2=0.000000
shell> cat form_double.C
 {
     double r1 = 3.0;
     double r2 = 4.0;
     cout << Form("r1=%f r2=%f",r1,r2) << endl;
 }
shell> root -b -l -q form_double.C
root [0] 
Processing form_double.C...
r1=3.000000 r2=4.000000
