It is also easy in Ada - something like...

procedure Fixed_12 is
  type F1 is delta 2.0**(-11) range -1.0 .. 1.0;
  type F2 is delta 2.0**(-14) range -2.0 .. 2.0;
  x  : F1;
  y,b: F2;
begin
  x:= 0.12345;
  b:= 1.23456;
  y:= x * b;
end;

The precision is guaranteed - better than good...

But you want to do this in C ?! By Jove!
Fortunately, your subconscient suggested you the right newsgroup.

BTW, something is wrong, either with your Shift key, or with your Caps Lock key - see the title.
I can only sympathize, after having a similar problem: some beer had found unexpectedly its way into my keyboard.
