I have to use floating point maths in my application and am having a
problem with implementing it.

I'm trying to use the material in AN526. I have assembled and used the
demo program FLOAT.ASM under MPSIM. I've also used the demo "calculator"
FPREP.EXE which I got off the bulletin board.

The problem is that FLOAT.ASM and FPREP.EXE use completely different
representations for floating point numbers.

I can understand the format used by FPREP.EXE, but what I need to understand
is the format used by FLOAT.ASM. The test module at the end of the program
listing gives the results that the comments say it should, but I cant
extrapolate them back to where the numbers come from:

i.e.
A = 01FF exp(07)
B = 7FFF exp(06)

A+B = 403F exp(07)
A*B = FF7E exp(12)
B-A = 7F7F exp(06)
B/A = 4000 exp(FA) remainder 3F

Cas any maths wizard explain to me what the decimal equivalents of these
numbers are? PLEASE?
