I am trying to code a simple exception handler for the two floating
point exceptions.  The 88100 manual states that there are routines from
Motorola that do the default IEEE processing.  Has anyone used these?
Are they public domain?  If not, does anyone have any code they can give
me?  I probably do not need full IEEE conformance, just enough so that
resonable results are produced when I start running out of precision instead
of taking the exception and crashing.  Having code to do the right thing
with infitity, NaN etc would be nice but not essential.
Many thanks
