◄Summary► ◄Example► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back► ─────Run-Time Library─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The _dieeetomsbin routine converts a double-precision number in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) format to Microsoft binary format. The _dmsbintoieee routine converts a double-precision number in Microsoft binary format to IEEE format. The _fieeetomsbin routine converts a single-precision floating- point number in IEEE format to Microsoft binary format. The _fmsbintoieee routine converts a floating-point number in Microsoft binary format to IEEE format. These routines allow C programs (which store floating-point numbers in the IEEE format) to use numeric data in random-access data files created with those versions of Microsoft Basic that store floating-point numbers in the Microsoft binary format, and vice versa. The <src4> or <src8> arguments point to the float value to be converted. The result is stored at the location given by <dst4> or <dst8>. These routines do not handle IEEE NANs ("not a number") and infinities. IEEE denormals are treated as 0 in the conversions. Return Value These functions return 0 if the conversion is successful, or 1 if the conversion causes an overflow. -♦-
