Hi everybody!

I have couple questions from different areas of using DJGPP.

1.Regarding representation of the floating-point numbers in binary format:
Does DJGPP store single- and double-precision FP numbers in IEEE-754 format?
If not, is there a set of functions which helps to deal with conversions of
FLOAT and DOUBLE numbers into IEEE-754 standard?

2.How can I correctly instruct RHIDE to use a certain output format for
watching contents of variables? I know different specifiers (e.g. /x /t /f
etc.), but how can I get an exact memory dump of a certain variable (in
other words, how can I use GDB's examine command for a variable) ?

Thank you
