Does anyone have or know where I could get some C (or, if not, Pascal)
source code for doing base conversions on character string representations
of floating point numbers?  I know the standard C libraries can do some of 
this, but only on integers, and I need to be able to handle any floating
point number.  Decimal <--> hexadecimal conversions would be enough, but it
would be nice if the code was generic enough to support conversions from/to
any base.

Thanks a lot for any help.
