Subject: fixed point vs floating point

friends

I am investigating the applicability of fixed point to a numerical
problem. I would like to develop the algorithm as a generic and test
with different floating and fixed point types to decide which one to
go with.

Questions:

- ada.numerics family is pretty much floating point only - is this
correct?
- can we design a generic (function or procedure) that can accept
either fixed point or floating point data types at the same time
excluding other types

thanks for hints/pointers,

srini
