Could you help me with this question : how can I access data file
with standard workstation 32-bit IEEE binary format using egcs_g77 fortran
compiler under linux OS, I know there are some differences between
workstation IEEE format data and PC data ? so many thanks ...
If you mean the IEEE-695 object file format, it is not a standard
workstation 32-bit format. As far as I know, it is only used by a few
embedded products, mostly emulators. It is only ``standard'' in the
sense that an early version of it was standardized by the IEEE. The
version of IEEE-695 used today was defined by HP and MRI, and is only
remotely related to the one standardized by the IEEE.
You can use the GNU binutils program objcopy to convert various
formats to HP/MRI IEEE-695. Do something like
objcopy -O ieee --debugging FROM TO
You may have to configure with --enable-targets=CPU-ieee. You didn't
mention your target; I don't know if ix86 is supported.
