ONC+ Developer's Guide  Floating Point  The standard defines the
floating-point data type float (32 bits or 4 bytes). The
encoding used is the IEEE standard for normalized single-
precision floating-point numbers [1]. The following three fields
describe the single-precision floating-point number:  S: The
sign of the number. Values 0 and 1 represent positive and
negative respectively. One bit.  E: The exponent of the number,
base 2. Eight bits are in this field. The exponent is biased by
127.  F: The fractional part of the number's mantissa, base 2.
Twenty-three bits are in this field.  Therefore, the floating-
point number is described by.  (-1)**S * 2**(E-Bias) * 1.F
Single-precision floating-point data is declared as follows.

declared as follows.  double identifier;   Double-Precision

most and least significant bytes of an integer are 0 and 3, the
