If so, this can be a real bear to translate because it will have a mantissa component, a sign component, and an exponent component, and the arrangement of the bits depends on whatever standard format is used to represent the number. (My guess is that this is not what you are dealing with).

Mark:

Thanks so much for your reply. They this thing was detailed for me, the value (Cougar Mountain Accounting) is stored in the following format:

Position 1 will either be a 4 or a c. 4 indicates a positive number and c indicates a negative.

Position 2 gives the number of decimal points.

The following the following five positions are the actual number.

So far, I am not having a great deal of luck on this end of the project. Any light you could shine on this would be greatly appreciated.
