can anyone tell me if FreeBSD will support IEEE DOUBLE FLOATS anytime soon? i am losing alot of precision in porting software that needs that precision in mathematical computations ... float to string to float conversion only give me 6 bytes of accuracy with floats, but i get 8 bytes under DOS with Double Floats. (i know Doubles are 40 bits, but i get 64 bits of accuracy in conversion with Doubles ...)
