In the ROM kernal manual it only explains the 32-bit single precision FFP number format, with bit 1-6 as the exponent, bit 7 the sign, and bit 8-31 as the mantissa. Now what is the format for the double precision FFP number which is used in the 'C' functions?? -- Canada Remote Systems. Toronto, Ontario NorthAmeriNet Host
