I'm having trouble recollecting my sophomore year's coursework on bit-
level math.
Even after doing some background research on two's complement
encoding, I'm still a little stuck. Specifically I'm trying to parse
4 bytes representing "fixed-point numbers divided as 16.16". (And then
once that is addressed, also "divided as 2.30".)
Before I beat myself up over this: does anyone have any pointers on
this subject? Maybe examples of other code that does this?
(Also I'll want to turn around and encode these values, once I read
them correctly... but hopefully if I get a firm grasp on reading I can
write them easily enough.)
Regards,

(This question isn't specifically related to QTJava, but it's related
to something I'm writing to replace my dependency on it, so it should
still be of interest, right?) :)
