I'm looking for a copy of the IEEE floating point standard, and any books or papers or articles that have been written about it. I came up dry at local bookstores; before I wade into the vastness of the Stanford library, does anybody have any experience with IEEE floating point that they'd like to use to steer me towards or away from particular documents? -- Brian Reid decwrl!glacier!reid Stanford reid@SU-Glacier.ARPA
