Subject: A new floating-point standard
As of 11:32 EST this morning, 3/12/87, P854, the draft
Radix-Independent Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic,
is an official IEEE standard. This culminates an effort
that began in 1977 with the first work on what is now
ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985, the standard for binary
floating-point arithmetic.
