If so, please use something compatable with ieee 754 decimal floats, so that they can be used when running on hardware which supports them. Even w/o such hardware, gcc (at least) has support for software emulation of _Decimal32 and _Decimal64 (and _Decimal128?). -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
