  Hello DJgpp'ers:
                  I wonder if someone out there can ask to me that question
  (or maybe can direct me to the correct place to look at that):
  What's a normalised float (double and/or long double)?
  Please excuse me (if?) I'm asking a non djgpp question but I'm not able to 
  find an answer by other means.

  I'll be gratfull if too, you can explain me the way bits are assigned to
  the exponential part of a float (double or long double), How many bits are
  used in the exp. of a float (double or long double)?

  Thanks in advance for you answer
