Yes, I adjusted the explanation for the "rule" for the '''FORMAT''' bif for the fifth argument being zero. |

Fortran
I'm amazed that there is not a Fortran example for this yet. Since the ISO 1990 (1991?) standard (commonly called Fortran 90), Fortran has had some of the richest language-based (not library-dependent) floating point support around. ISO 2003 adds specific optional support for IEEE numbers too IIRC. I'll try to put together an example if I can find the time, but I no longer have access to a current Fortran compiler. --Balrog 09:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
REXX
not quite?
