EN The main aim of the paper is to give a short presentation of selected conversion functions developed by the author. They are included in two C++ libraries. The FloatingPointConversion library is dedicated for conversions in the area of floating-point numbers and the second one, the IntervalArithmetic library, carries out the similar task for interval values as well as supports computations in the floating-point interval arithmetic with a suitable CInterval class. The functions considered are all intended to be used with the Intel Architectures (i.e. the IA-32 and the IA-64) and dedicated for C++ compilers that specify 10 bytes for the long double data type.
