I see what I did, whenever people talk about 'new floating point' I
always assume it is Decimal Floating Point (the one that is not
available in Java yet, or COBOL for that matter. z9 and PL/I and have
it) To make it more confusing both the Java binary float and the newer
DFP are both IEEE floating point!
---------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------
Don't confuse PL/1's FLOAT DECIMAL specification with the hardware
floating point decimal feature. They are NOT the same!
