1.  I am told that the Apollo 3500 and 4500 machines support the IEEE
floating point standard.  Can anyone confirm that and provide more
details?

2.  If the answer is, "Yes," can anyone tell me how the IEEE
capabilities can be accessed from Fortran or C?

3.  My specific interest is interval analysis, which uses the directed
rounding.  Does anyone know of a library of interval arithmetic
routines written for the Apollo's?

Thanks in advance.
