I am working on a program, where I read data files created on a HP 1000 
computer, and I am trying to use the data on a HP 9000/300.  In the data
files, I have some floating point numbers to read, and, since they were written
out in HP 1000 format, the HP 9000 does not interpret them correctly.  So,
May question is:  How do you convert a 4 byte HP 1000 floating point number
to a HP 9000 floating point number?  Any help will be appreciated!  Thanks!
