Well, this conversion won't work either, because the 'image attribute uses
exponential notation -- see RM95 3.5(33).
It's probably better to use an instantiation of Text_IO.Float_IO.Put, with
appropriate Fore, Aft, and Exp values to write the string. This will have
the further advantage that it will not be necessary to search for the
decimal point, because its position will have been specified by means of the
parameters.
Of course, there will be trailing zeroes on the fractional part which may
need to be dropped, so a search will be needed there.
