I have tried the floating_point_utilities_v2 which is very good for inf and nan. Thanks! Why isn't it part of boost?
It's in the review queue http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_schedule.html After it is accepted it can officially become part of Boost.
However, there is still the problem with the number of digits in the exponent: 2 with unix/cygwin (1e12) and 3 with windows (1e012).
I suspect this is also a deficiency in the facet. According the Langer and Kreft (appendix b) the output will have 'at least 2 digits'...which is exactly the problem you are having :-( Jeff
