Is "r80test" readily available ? (Could be handy.)
It's written in D, which has a native 80-bit FP type available. The code looks like this:
import std.stdio;
import std.format;
void main( string[] args ) {
real r;
ubyte *ubp = cast(ubyte*)&r;
foreach( line; stdin.byLine ) {
formattedRead( line, " %f ", &r );
writef( "%20.18g : ", r );
for( int i = r.sizeof -1; i >= 0; --i ) {
writef( "%08.8b ", ubp[i] );
}
writeln();
}
}
If you don't want to be bothered with installing/learning D, I can send you the executable?
