Summary:

The "Microsoft C Run-Time Library Reference" manual contains the

documentation of four functions that are used to convert IEEE format

to MS binary format and MS binary format to IEEE format. The

information is also in the QuickHelp for C 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax, and

C/C++ 7.0.

The four functions are as follows:

fieeetomsbin: Converts a single precision floating-point

number in IEEE format to MS binary format.

fmsbintoieee: Converts a single precision floating-point

number in MS binary format to IEEE format.

dieeetomsbin: Converts a double precision number in IEEE

format to MS binary format.

dmsbintoieee: Converts a double precision number in MS binary

format to IEEE format.
