Describes the floating-point numerics environment provided with the first release of PowerPC processor-based Macintosh computers, including IEEE standard 754, upon which the environment is based, and shows programmers how to create floating point values. Original. (Advanced).
A technical reference that describes the numerics environment for Macintosh with the PowerPC microprocessor. This environment allows the Macintosh to run both DOS and Mac based applications quickly and efficiently, a sorely lacking standard in previous attempts to bridge the Mac/DOS barrier. Provides a complete technical reference to floating point functions implemented in the PowerPC Numerics library. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
