Best I've found on the net uses some bit arithmetic.
long bits = Double.doubleToLongBits(5894.349580349);
boolean negative = (bits & 0x8000000000000000L) != 0;
long exponent = bits & 0x7ff0000000000000L >> 52;
long mantissa = bits & 0x000fffffffffffffL;
Yep, that's about what I got from the Java5 API. It's awfully obtuse,
and thoroughly non-intuitive.
Oh well,
Kev
