This is different on IA64 HP-UX and IA64 Linux. On HP-UX, 128 bits is the standard long double and 80 bits is __float80. We use the 'W' suffix for a __float80 constant on HP-UX. HP-UX also uses a lower case 'w' in math names for functions (e.g. sqrtw) for __float80 functions. Since __float128 == long double on HP-UX we can just use 'L' and 'l' for those. None of which helps on Linux. Steve Ellcey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
