Does anyone have access to subroutines/functions which will
convert floating point variables to and from character variables.
The essence of such a code is not all too involved { INDEX(), CHAR(),
ICHAR(), etc. along with some knowledege os ASCII codes } yet
implementation, namely bookeeping, tends to be quite tedious.
If anyone has developed such routines (personal or Public Domain) and
is willing to share them, I would be most grateful !!
Thanks in advance ....buckland@cheddar.ucs.ubc.ca (Tony Buckland) (06/14/90)

You don't say why you want to make these conversions. But if you just want to put the external character representation of a floating-point quantity in a character variable or array, the simplest way is to use internal input/output (assuming that your compiler implements Internal WRITE and Internal READ).
