HP-UX Floating-Point Guide

17
The document ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985, entitled “IEEE Standard for
Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic,” was also published in ACM SIGPLAN
Notices 22(2), pp. 9 - 25, Feb. 1987.
The international version of the standard is Binary floating-point
arithmetic for microprocessor systems, second edition (IEC 559:1989).
Information on HP-UX programming languages and tools is available in
both online and hardcopy format. The following online guides are
available through the HP Help System if you have the relevant compilers
or tools:
• HP FORTRAN/9000 Online Reference
• HP C Online Reference
• HP C++ Online Programmer’s Guide
• HP-UX Linker and Libraries Online User Guide
• HP DDE Debugger Online User’s Guide
• HP Puma Online User’s Guide
