[amibroker] Re: AFL floating point number representation?

["hydroblue@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <hydroblue@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tomasz. I'm looking for a clever way to stuff two numbers into
the 32 bit float and then later extract the 2 numbers. 

// fraction = 23 bit integer
// exponent = 8 bit integer

The reason for doing this is to efficiently get an extra array of
numbers into the portfolio backtester without thousands of static vars
or Foreign symbols.

Is there a way to do this in AFL without writing a DLL?
