you need to examine the binary representation of floating points on the
two machines you are using. If you say what the cpus are, perhaps someone
here could tell you the representations.

I remember converting VAX 11/70 to Intel x86; only difference was byte order and
the exponent bias. if exponent bias differed by 2, that would give you a
factor of 4.

The nice thing about ieee is that its the same across all machines (is that
true for its byte order also?).
