From: Bob Kister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # # Where can I find specifications for # 80 bit floating point use in financials? http://www.fixprotocol.org/specification/fix-42-with_errata_20010501.html Search for "Data types". There's a "15 digit" float. If thought of as BCD (binary coded decimal), that's 15 * 4 == 60 bits. I don't know of any 80 bitter. It's transmitted in ASCII anyway. Otherwise you're talking about a specific machine's representation of a float.
