- Greetings ACERs.
-
- This is a fairly complete double-precision floating point library suitable
- for use with ACE and C. Note that the C source module dp_val.c was compiled with
- Sozobon C to produce dp_val.o.
-
- The best way to get a handle on the library's functionality is to try out the
- test.b program (type "make test"), look through dp.h, and maybe even dp_main.s
- and dp_val.c.
-
- The only important thing missing is a routine to output double-precision
- floating point numbers. There is however a routine to extract them from
- strings.
-
- If you can lay your hands on C source code for taking an IEEE DP value
- and converting it to a printable string, I'd appreciate it if you'd pass
- it along to me. It would save me some time.
-
- This code will ultimately be used as the basis for the run-time side of
- ACE DOUBLEs.
-
- Please test these routines and report any bugs to me at ace@vision.net.au.
- I've done minimal testing but it all looks okay.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- Regards,
