Thanks for the bug report. For historical reasons, str$() and print  
use completely different code to format a number, whereas they should  
both do the the same thing.  I added this to our bugs database.

499   Open    Error    str$( fpNum ) and 'print fpNum' give different  
results
PSstr() should convert with FBFloat2String()
