[comp.sys.sun] Differences between IEEE Floating Pt. Standards 764 & 754-1985

What is the difference between IEEE Floating Pt. Standards 764 and
754-1985?  Seems as though IBM RISC/6000 floating point representation is
not compatible with that of a Sun SPARC system, although integer-wise,
they are compatible.
