I am reading binary data from a DEC machine, and I want to interpert floats (=dec reals) and ints after I swab bytes. The dec machine does not align ints and floats on mips word boundries. I am finding that the structure I template has unwanted holes and wrong offsets. Is there an 'Unaligned' int and float available ? Also, what is the bit pattern for mips float ? I assume that float are NOT promoted to doubles in 3.3(Right ?) dan. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
