Does anyone have experience of encoding (using BER) ASN.1 REAL type value? 
I found the description in X.209 are very confusing especially the usage of
binary scaling factor F. Can some one tells me how it works? Using an 
example like encoding 2.34567E-03 with a transfer base 2, would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steve.
