I've been playing with the number junta in ParcPlace Smalltalk 2.4
and need to add double-precision floating point support (it only has
single-precision).  I'd like to include IEEE, VAX D and G formats to
be complete.

Before I dived in and started adding the user prims, I thought I'd ask 
if anyone had already done this work and would be willing to share.

Thanks,
Jon Becher
