You have posted your C++ Builder question in the newsgroup for the old 
Borland C++ compiler.  You will find a larger number of people 
familiar with C++ Builder issues in a newsgroup related to that 
product.  Look for newsgroups with the word 'cppbuilder' in their 
name.

If you start the help, click on the Index tab the binary format for a 
long double is shown under 'numeric types'.
