>>Hi All,
>>
>>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?
