- * Machine-independent I/O routines for IEEE floating-point numbers.
- *
- * NaN's and infinities are converted to HUGE_VAL or HUGE, which
- * happens to be infinity on IEEE machines. Unfortunately, it is
- * impossible to preserve NaN's in a machine-independent way.
- * Infinities are, however, preserved on IEEE machines.
- *
- * These routines have been tested on the following machines:
- * Apple Macintosh, MPW 3.1 C compiler
- * Apple Macintosh, THINK C compiler
- * Silicon Graphics IRIS, MIPS compiler
- * Cray X/MP and Y/MP
- * Digital Equipment VAX
- *
- *
- * Implemented by Malcolm Slaney and Ken Turkowski.
- *
- * Malcolm Slaney contributions during 1988-1990 include big- and little-
- * endian file I/O, conversion to and from Motorola's extended 80-bit
- * floating-point format, and conversions to and from IEEE single-
- * precision floating-point format.
- *
- * In 1991, Ken Turkowski implemented the conversions to and from
- * IEEE double-precision format, added more precision to the extended
- * conversions, and accommodated conversions involving +/- infinity,
- * NaN's, and denormalized numbers.
