1741.0. "1750a floating point?" by CSC32::J_HENSON (Faster than a speeding ticket) Fri Apr 16 1993 16:46

I have a customer who will be "converting from DEC floating point to
1750a floating point".  He is looking for some hex representations of
this floating point format to use as reference points.  

I wish I could tell you what 1750a floating point is, but I don't know.
Best I can tell, 1750a is some sort of ADA standard, but I can't
be sure.

So, if anyone can help with this, I would greatly apprecite it.

Thanks,

Jerry Henson

The 1750a is a military standard microprocessor used in embedded aplications, such as avionics, which is consistent with your Ada statement. Other than that, I can't help you with the 1750a. JPB

The 1750a is a military standard microprocessor used in embedded aplications,
such as avionics, which is consistent with your Ada statement.

Other than that, I can't help you with the 1750a.
