I searching for converting a 32 bit float (Microchip format) in ASCII or
INTEGER for displaying the float on an LCD with the decimal format (1,22 e
-12 for example). I working with CCS PIC C Compiler.

My problem is I don't understand how the mantisse is encoded (I know the
microchip format, don't send it to me).
If someone can explain me how the float is encoded or where can i find a
function in C langage, it will be great !
