as far as i know, all plan 9 compilers use IEEE 754-compatable semantics (at least insomuch as allowed by hardware). thus the minima and maxima, ε, and underflow properties depend on IEEE 754, not the processor. /sys/doc/port.ps has the most complete information, but i would imagine that the powerpc and arm information is slightly out-of-date. - erik
