What would cc65 gain by having IEEE standard FP notation as opposed to a custom one that ran faster on the 6502? The only one that I could think of would be read/write compatibility with files that export floating point in binary files which isn't that common. NaN and infinite also don't show up in Posix C programs without tossing a SIGFPE signal do they? If not, they don't need to be handled with special code which can tighten up the FP library and make it easier to implement. -- White Flame (aka David Holz) http://www.white-flame.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
