WTF is fl_utils ?

fl_utils is a collection of utilities for converting between the long
integers of floats and floats.


Who is it good for ?

fl_utils could be useful to any language not having complete float support,
such as:- ACE, Classic Blitz, PureBasic, Sozobon C, HCC, HCE, REXX, etc...


long2float --- Converts the two long integers of a double float, into a
               floating point string.
               Usage:- long2float <long1> <long2> [frac_digits]
                   eg. long2float 1074341010 1227133513 16
 
float2long --- Converts a double float to two long integers seperated by a
               space.
               Usage:- float2long <float>
                   eg. float2long .33333333333333333333

long2single -- Converts the long integer of a single float, into a floating
               point string.
               Usage:- long2single <long> [frac_digits]
                    
single2long -- Converts a single float into a long integer.
               Usage:- float2long <float>

long2ffp ----- Converts the long integer of an FFP float, into a floating
               point string with a similar usage as "long2single".

ffp2long ----- Converts an FFP float into a long integer with a similar
               usage as "single2long".


fl_utils SAS have been tested under "ROM 1.3" with no FPU.

Perhaps fl_utils might inspire a shared library.
