Thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about that book but I agree that it was an absolute pig digging into the guts of the floating point stuff.

In 1984, I was living in France in a rural area where most of the older folk didn't even speak French (only the local patois), not everyone had running water in the home and the telephone was a new-fangled gadget treated with suspicion. I had to buy the Speccy in the UK and import it because nobody in France had heard of it. I had because I had only moved to France a matter of months before. In other words, I was on my own!
