I will *not* do that. Actually, I'm *not* at all interested in floating point arithmetic. I wrote the floating point classification functions for one reason only: I needed them.
The native fp classification functions on MSVC 7.1 do not handle single precision floating point numbers correctly, so I had to put together my own.
