Re: [Dev-C++] Question about bit representation

[William Mc C. <WIL...@ms...>]

I've worked on all IBM hardware from 1401 through 3090 machine's. Which m=
achine has a 9 bit byte? =20

I really don't think there ever was a machine that handled 9 bit bytes.

I'm not sure if a byte by definition may be anything but 8 bit.

However, at least IBM have old irons with 9-bit characters. I assume that
they are using own-defined floating point data too.
