Hi,

I need some help with the conversion of decimal numbers into
the IEEE-754 format (floating point).

There seem to be two possible formats. The one I need is defined
as follows:

Sm, C, M

with Sm = bit-vector representation of the mantissa sign
C = characteristic
M = bit-vector representation of abs(mantissa)

I could not find any information in the Internet how to practically
convert decimals into floating point numbers using C.

Could you help me out and perform a conversion, let's say for the
decimal 0.0745.

Thank you.

Chris

Here is a java applet that converts IEEE-754:
