You may want to try looking at compiler listings for unoptimized (or optimized) COBOL code using COMP-1 (short float) or COMP-2 (long float). By using the various compiler options (to choose between the various types of floating point numbers) and doing arithmetic and/or moving floating point number to Binary and/or Packed number you will be able to generate a quick tutorial for yourself. The same can be done with the C/C++ compiler other other compilers on your system.
