And yet the "summary" didn't even show up locally.  I was looking for
a 68030 to Intel floating point conversion routine for use in moving
data from a Force 30 (68030) to a PC/AT (286) in real time.

At any rate, my apologies... an Intel rep. and a net news respondent
have informed me that both Intel and Motorola support ANSI-IEEE 754
floating point formats.  Perhaps it is just a byte ordering problem.
Email comments are welcomed.
