Where can I find a discussion of the floating point bit stucture.

Or take my word for it that it is SXXXXXXX XMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM 

where S is the sign bit, X is the exponent, and M is the mantissa, as 

What is it that you are interested in discussing?

i got the IEEE reference from Jonathan's paper

i got the IEEE reference from Jonathan's paper
& downloaded the specs

haven't had a chance to wade in yet
thanx for the Luck wish
i am sure i will need it
