  17. One thing that would be handy in a programmers calculator would be
  18. the ability to display and do arithmetic with IEEE floating point
  19. numbers (i.e. convert them to and from bit patterns, and to and from
  20. the calculator's floating point format).  Anyone working on these
  21. packages, please take note.
