I found the Microchip FP routines pretty useless because they are so poorly
documented, and the interface used dedicated registers in a way I didn't
want.  I ended up creating my own 24 bit floating point routines that work
with my 32 bit integer routines.  I've attached the header comments for the
integer to FP convert routine so that you can see the format.  It would
probably be better if you contact me directly if you want some help with
this.  This is what I do for a living, so I don't give this stuff away for
free.
