Hello all,
here is a problem which needs no urgent solution, but I would be
glad if I know one:
What I want to do is to get the binary representation of a float
or double (the way these numbers are stored in memory). How can I obtain
them? How do I modify them? Is there a documentation from which I can see
how the format of these binary represetations on PC's (and in DJGPP) is.
I played with these methods long ago on an AMIGA (with AmigaBASIC) but
know I do C and didn't find a way until yet!
Is any help possible?
Thanks in advance,
Armin
