On VFP9:

*CVD()
* correct
CTOBIN(8bytes,"BRS")
* uses
CTOBIN(8bytes,"BS")

I hope this bug will be fixed on SP2.

* CVS and CVD
CTOBIN(4or8bytes,"NRS")

Remember, VFP doesn't support 32bit floating point (single),
then the conversion to double can add a rounding error.

example

* double
? CTOBIN(0H+BINTOC(0.1E0,"BRS"),"NRS")

* single
? CTOBIN(0H+BINTOC(0.1E0,"fRS"),"NRS")
