[net.arch] IEEE floating point doc or info?

reid@glacier.ARPA (Brian Reid) (01/20/86)

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?
