      Morning

        Morning all.



        Bit of a late start to an endlessly tedious day.



        But the car passed the MOT.

          It's always good to include one here or there to confuse the uninitiated.



          Unions and bit fields are good for that too.

          Especially if you're doing sommat like converting bigendian to littleendian or even better, converting one sort of floating point to sommat completely different.

              Ouch, might have just overstretched it?

                One of my first programming jobs. Fortran 77's equivalence was useful IIRC...

                  Possibly...but the pain isn't subsiding yet

                    Oh yes.

                    Code:
                            EQUIVALENCE()
                    them were the days.

                    I used EQUIVALENCE a lot in the crap I used to write.

                    Most of it done in an 8K (yes, that's 8192 word) partition with overlays and such like.

                    Used to crash the GA16-220 quite frequently when developing that sort of stuff.
