[comp.protocols.iso] Need help on ASN.1 REAL

ng@eric.mpr.ca (Steve Ng) (09/06/89)

This is a repost. The previous one was lost when frog.ncsl.nist.gov was down. 

Does anyone have experience of encoding (using BER) ASN.1 REAL type value? 
I found the description in X.209 are very confusing especially the usage of
binary scaling factor F. Can some one tells me how it works? Using an 
example like encoding 2.34567E-03 with a transfer base 2, would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steve.
