NAME

fpa: convert fast floating point into ASCII string equivalent

SYNOPSIS

exp = fpa(fnum, string);

LONG fpa(fnum, STRPTR);

FUNCTION

Accepts an FFP number and the address of the ASCII string where it's converted output is to be stored. The number is converted to a NULL terminated ASCII string in and stored at the address provided. Additionally, the base ten (10) exponent in binary form is returned.

INPUTS

fnum: Motorola Fast Floating Point number
string: Address for output of converted ASCII character string (16 bytes)

RESULT

string: Converted ASCII character string
exp: Integer exponent value in binary form
