I only need to do a few calcs using float, and I figure I will use the math lib for _LVOSPMul, SPDiv, etc. The only reason I need to know the details on the format is so I can define some constants. I'm doing 100% assembly (mainly cuz I prefer it), so I can't define a FLOAT constant; I must know the equivalent longword value. A simple utility that converts an ASCII number to the floating point equivalent would be great. I will check out the '881 manual. Thanx! —Mike
