(* Convert real number "r" to string "str", either in fixed-point or
exponent notation.
"digits" is the number digits to the right of the decimal point,
"width" is the maximum width of the notation.
If digits < 0, exponent notation is used, otherwise fixed-point.
If fewer than "width" characters are needed, leading blanks are inserted.
If the representation does not fit in "width", then ok is set to FALSE.
