Conversion between strings and floating point
- Thread starter mc404
- Start date
I had a problem like that once....
here's what I did:
I used the BCD format!!! Since the coprocessor can use it directly, and it is quite similar to a string, it wasn't so bad....
(that's a hint on what you might want to do. Try it first. If you can't, post again. If you don't know what in all possible worlds BCD is, and how the coprocessor uses it, then you're in over your head, and you'd better post again). "Information has a tendency to be free.
