# 1. Branch on the sign of the adjusted exponent.
# 2p.(positive exp)
-# 2. Check M16 and the digits in lwords 2 and 3 in decending order.
+# 2. Check M16 and the digits in lwords 2 and 3 in descending order.
# 3. Add one for each zero encountered until a non-zero digit.
# 4. Subtract the count from the exp.
# 5. Check if the exp has crossed zero in #3 above; make the exp abs
# and set SE.
# 6. Multiply the mantissa by 10**count.
# 2n.(negative exp)
