Ok. I was probably thinking of G because of my fiddling to convert
between VAX and IEEE formats. G was so easy (as long as you didn't worry
about things like denormals) that I think I did the other VAX formats by
first converting to G (I think there might have been some VAX library
procedure to do that) and then going from G to IEEE (for portable file
formats that wanted IEEE).
