Few weeks ago, there was a discussion about the TI-85
real number format. It seems like I've lost all those
messages. I would really appreciate it, if anyone could
explain me how the values of the second and third bytes
of the package are calculated. I've read the 85n.txt but 
it is still a mystery for me.
