00:39:51 <virl> hi Cheery 
00:39:54 <virl> how are you?
04:08:55 <Cheery> great
04:35:53 <virl> and what are you doing at the moment?
05:49:12 <virl> somehow I don't get x86 floating point format, where is the fraction and where is the exponent?
05:50:32 <virl> |FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF|EEEEEEEE|S| should be the format, if I got it right.

10:50:31 <virl> hi
11:50:00 <crc> hi virl 
11:51:18 <virl> hi crc, any idea how a x86 32float value is constructed in memory?
11:51:30 <crc> not really
11:53:09 <virl> I'm asking myself all the time if the fraction comes first or the sign is at the first byte in memory of the value
12:42:17 <virl> mah, bigforth is such an unstable forth. it's like a skyscraper with a broken basement

16:26:22 <virl> ah... bigforth, I find it funny that it was a commercial product, poor customers.
16:38:55 <crc> I didn't know it was a commercial product
16:48:59 <virl> in the manuals you can read something like that
16:50:43 <virl> juhu, I found the layout. puh.. some deeper digging
16:51:22 <virl> floating point in a little endian version is somehow sick
16:51:47 <crc> just use the fpu :)
16:52:59 <virl> I use the fpu, but heh I didn't get it how it's stored in memory.
16:53:28 <virl> and that to the exponent a bias is added
