Hi, Ronald.

Integers are easy. Just take the two bytes, multiply the first by 256 and add the second. Same thing for longs. Floating point values are stores as base and mantissa. Just let me remember how it was. If I found a Basic at home tonight maybe I can do it.

Til tomorrow!


>I have a project that I am working on converting a QBasic or Quick Basic program to VFP. The data files that are used are saved as random data files, so the numeric data is unreadable to VFP. I have found out that the numeric data is saved in this format:

> D = Double Presision - stored as 8 bytes
> L = Long Integers - stored as 4 bytes
