Mnamky did not say in 
news:1130690498.388857.225170@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com that the 
datatypes could take negative values, but anyway Gautier's
type F1 is delta 2.0**(-11) range -1.0 .. 1.0;
is a wasteful declaration which is bigger than Mnamky's "12-bit 
wordlength and 11-bit fraction".
A two's complement signed 1 bit integer can have as its lowest value -1 
and as its greatest value 0.
So
type F3 is delta 2.0**(-11) range -1.0 .. 1.0 - 2.0**(-11);
type F4 is delta 2.0**(-14) range -2.0 .. 2.0 - 2.0**(-14);
are more appropiate datatypes.
