Tim,
manexp is defined in domain DFLOAT (sf.spad.pamphlet)
as
manexp:% -> Record(MANTISSA:Integer,EXPONENT:Integer)
except for some special cases it is given in terms of
MANEXP(x)$Lisp
which is unfortunately apparently not to be found in
the common lisp specs?
Hence Juergen's definition
(defun manexp (u)
(multiple-value-bind (f e s) (decode-float u)
(list (* s f) e)))
But where should it go? And why doesn't the Axiom
build complain about it's absence?
Regards,
Bill Page.
