[comp.lang.ada] Wanted: IEEE floating point

melody@arabian.gatech.edu (Melody Eidbo) (03/03/90)

  We are looking for a specification and/or implementation of an IEEE   
floating point package for Ada (for both standard and long).  Does anyone 
know of such a beast, and what kind of overhead might be involved for
68000 series processors?

  Also, does anyone have experience with enforcing the use of a standard
IEEE floating point representation (ie, "replacing" the normal float type)
without having to hack either the compiler or rts?

Thanks -
