FPC is IEEE-spec compliant, since all computer follow up floating point standard. It should follow up to 80 bits for double-extended precision. Note that IEEE specification is recently under revision. > It seems really weird that there is no such unit in the standard > freepascal distribution.

Take a look Alex Fihman BigFloat unit, for example: http://www.db-access.com/ Sasa _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
