I need to access Basic data files from within C.  The data contains
numeric data in Basic's single precision floating point format.  Where
can I find out about Basic's internal representation of this floating
point, or - better yet - how can I convert it to C's float?  Any info
would be appreciated.
        Thanks,
                - Steve -
