Re: IEEE floating point?

[Howard Chu <howard@harry.lloyd.com>]

Yes, pml uses IEEE format.

Hm, 16M of RAM, why? Ah well, no matter.

  Can someone tell me if pml.olb uses IEEE floating point or not?
  
  I'm trying to whip up the latests NetPBM suite of utils, and the TIFF
  library needs IEEE floats, or a way to convert to/from native floating
  point format.  If pml doesn't have IEEE floats, how do I convert to/
  from that format?
  
  As an aside, don't try compiling this at home; the TIFF library requires
  at least 16M of RAM (probably more with recent versions of gcc).  Yes,
  my cross-compiler makes me happy...  ;-)
