Is the FP:nn/m notation for floating point size intended to represent mantissa/exponent sizes (which I think would be logical) or total_bits/exponent? I used mantissa/exponent when I created the Exidy Standard Basic entry, but the Applesoft entry seems to be total/exponent. Pnt103 (talk) 10:54, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The nn represents the bits used for the mantissa, the m is the bits for the exponent. Applesoft uses 5 bytes for FP, 31 bits for the mantissa, 8 bits for the exponent. FozzTexx (talk) 16:21, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the "Variable Length" column supposed to refer to the length of the names of variables? AJAlbert (talk) 17:09, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
