Type

Function MStoIEEE(Var MS) : Real;
{ Converts a 4 Byte Microsoft format single precision Real Variable as
used in earlier versions of QuickBASIC and GW-BASIC to IEEE 6 Byte Real }
Var

begin
FillChar(r, sizeof(r), 0);

{ LongInt Type used only For convenience of Typecasting. Note that this will
only be effective where the accuracy required can be obtained in the 23
bits that are available With the MKS Type. }
