Thanks for the answer, but I'm not quit satisfied yet.

How do you store a floating point number in a look-up
table?

For instance the number 234876.3129765 ???

How many bytes do you need to store it and how do the
bytes look like in memory?

I hope someone can give me an example of simple
arithmetic with floating point numbers.

				Thanks already,
