Binary number 1197. Note that the first Prior Value of 0 is simply an initial decimal value. This method is an application of the Horner scheme. The fractional parts of a number are converted with similar methods. They are again based on the equivalence of shifting with doubling or halving. In a fractional binary number such as 0.11010110101, the first digit is formula_7, the second formula_8, etc. So if there is a 1 in the first place after the decimal, then the number is at least formula_7, and vice versa. Double that number is at least 1. This suggests the algorithm: Repeatedly
Fat binary the data fork, in PEF format. Fat binaries were larger than programs supporting only the PowerPC or 68k, which led to the creation of a number of utilities that would strip out the unneeded version. In the era of small hard drives, when 80 MB hard drives were a common size, these utilities were sometimes useful, as program code was generally a large percentage of overall drive usage, and stripping the unneeded members of a fat binary would free up a significant amount of space on a hard drive. Fat binaries were a feature of NeXT's NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP operating system, starting
