[DUG] Need help in format function

[Colin Johnsun]

I don't remember reading in the original post that Vikas needed the function
in a multi-threaded app?
In fact, the original FloatToStrF that Vikas used in his original post is
the non-threaded version, so I think it is reasonable to assume that he was
using it in a single threaded fashion. But thanks for pointing out how
useless *Format ( Const Formatting  : string; Const Data  : array of const)
: string; *is for multi-threaded situations.

Regards,
Colin
