There's a goodie (Printf.cs) by Michael Rueger available in the ML 
archives, e.g. at 
<http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/mail/squeak/msg03429.html>.  It's from the 2.8a 
days, but seems to work OK in 3.1a as far as I can see.

Also check out <http://www.dnsmith.com/squeak/formatter.html>, but last I 
looked, the floating point formatting was disabled.

HTH,
Helge
