That should be 'record' insteady of 'array', of course.

The only differences are little/big endian. So if it works on PPC and
I386, you have support for all platforms. Ju
While writing a paper (several years ago) about the traps of using
floating-point numbers, I prepared a unit FloatView to "play" with
the internal representation according to the IEEE Std, including
to print it in various formats.
Initially, I made this work for the Linux/i386 platform only. Late
