A friend just pointed me to the Universal Number formats, which may have been subject to the IEEE 754 thread. Before I tweet my own thoughts here, I'd like to hear more about the practice of Unum numbers. From theory the Unum formats try to increase the number precision (around 1.0) and range (towards 0 and Inf). What are these attempts worth in real life? DoDi
