Hehe. Have a look at this ooooold patch which I've received six years ago from Abramo. I then hesitated to add it to groff because it adds code which produces platform-dependent results, and meanwhile I completely forgot about it until now. According to Nelson Beebe's excellent book on `hoc', the high-order calculator (see http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/hoc/ and http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/ieee/ -- I got a preprint of his book, and I don't know whether it's already published) the situation has become much better, and today most of the IEEE implementations appear to work fine. If you find it useful, and someone invests time to update the code to the current CVS (*together* with updates to the various documentation files -- this takes much more time than applying the patch itself), I'll add it. Werner PS: Abramo, I need the usual FSF copyright assignment to do that. IIRC, I've asked you for this already but got no response. The same is true for you Epson/Honeywell patch.
