Stupid mysql. Is sprintf("%06.2f\n",$dewey) simple enough, or is it a 
problem with how many places Dewey is displayed? (Inspired by man 
perlfaq4)

Maybe making it character would help LC support, though. Maybe even 
the same search range theory could work with both, but I forget the 
specifics of SQL character fields and range operators.
