Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

CVSMBF and CVDMBR return the IEEE-format equivalent of the Microsoft
Binary format number contained in the string.
 
CVSMBF (4-byte-string)
CVDMBF (8-byte-string)
    ■ CVSMBF converts a 4-byte-string containing a Microsoft Binary
      format number to a single-precision IEEE-format number.
    ■ CVDMBF converts an 8-byte-string containing a Microsoft Binary
      format number to a double-precision IEEE-format number.
 
Usage Notes
    ■ These functions help you read old random-access files containing
      real numbers stored as strings in Microsoft Binary format.
