List-Id: We are looking for a specification and/or implementation of an IEEE floating point package for Ada (for both standard and long). Does anyone know of such a beast, and what kind of overhead might be involved for 68000 series processors? Also, does anyone have experience with enforcing the use of a standard IEEE floating point representation (ie, "replacing" the normal float type) without having to hack either the compiler or rts? Thanks - Melody Moore Eidbo
