I am interested in a fast algorithm (source code in either Pascal or C
would be nice, but not essential) that would take a floating point number
(base 2) and convert it to a string (base 10). I can think of some ways
to do this, but I am interested if there are any post-Knuth tricks out
there. Please respond directly


Thanks,
Bruce
