On the Cyber 205 the standard system library, SYSLIB, contains
routines for converting Cyber 170 arithmetic data formats to and
from Cyber 200 arithmetic data formats. You can find them in an
appendix called `Fortran data conversion routines' of the VSOS
manual. (e.g. Q9CLF converts Cyber 200 floating point operands to
equivalent Cyber 170 floating point operands).

This assumes binary files with only one data type and won't help you
with the suns either.

Hope this helps!
