The floating point format is described by some IEEE document. Searching google gives several hits ("http://www.google.com/search?q=IEEE+floating+point+format&sourceid=opera&num=0).

HTH, Hilmar.

>Has anyone previously read 32 bit floats from disk? I'm importing information from a disk file that contains Character and numeric information. The character info is no problem and I can convert 16 bit Ints easily. However, floats are stored in a totally different format. Has anyone cracked this before?
