Mike Cowlishaw points out that the "P754" is confusing. I was talking about the official version of 19 July 2006. Version 1.0 was the one that resulted from Dave James' editing, dated 13 July 2006. The title is "DRAFT Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic P754". Perhaps "P754" should be replaced with "754r". Michel. Sent: 2006-07-25 14:09:37 UTC
