[comp.os.msdos.misc] Help with Floating Point Format << Please Read, I'm desperate!

C512052@UMCVMB.BITNET ("David K. Drum") (03/11/91)

I am in _desperate_ need of what I believe to be Microsoft's floating
point format.  I have a business program which I know to have been
written in Microsoft Basic, and one of its data files is an inventory of
over 3000 products.  I need this format so that I can read the file from
Borland's Turbo C++.

Here are some examples of values and how they are stored:

1.0 = (hex) 00 00 48 87
2.0 = (hex) 00 00 48 88
31.2 = (hex) 00 00 43 8B

If this format (whether or not it is Microsoft's) is familiar to anyone,
_please_ let me know ***via EMAIL***.

I have posted this request (plea) to 3 groups, so forgive me if you read
it 3 times today.

Thanks,
