ciao,
The first time I posted this message I incorrectly did a follow-up on the Emacs
installation thread. Apologies to those who will see this twice.
I am looking for some information on floating point implementation for A/UX 2.
Specifically, the number of mantissa bits in a floating point number, the
floating point exponent size, and the maximum floating point exponent.
The numbers I have (garnered from /usr/include/sys/fp.h) are:
FRACSIZE 23
EXPSIZE 8
MAXEXP 255
Can anyone confirm or deny these numbers as being the numbers I am seeking?
