That works through DNG999, but truncates numbers >= 1000 to the last
three digits, which is not necessarily what Chris wanted; his code
didn't do that.

I would use the Satimage OSAX for numeric formatting like this.  If I
couldn't ensure that was installed everywhere it needed to be, then
I'd probably call out to the shell:

set DNGnumber to do shell script "printf DNGd " & DNGnumber
