(The VAX format was just a copy of the IBM one with an extra precision bit thrown in every now-and-then.) But - even the mainframe has an available/alternate IEEE format now, and the mainframe version of gcc uses that... (although, our C/C++ compiler for mainframe Linux can optionally use the older format.) - Dave Rivers - -- rivers_at_dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.comReceived on Wed Jan 21 2004 - 02:42:44 UTC
