- I need to convert floating point numbers stored in Microsoft Binary Format
- (MBF) to the native float type used by Borland C++. The project I'm
- currently working on needs to manipulate data read from files created by a
- Quick Basic program. This data consists of integers, strings, and floating
- point numbers. The floats aren't compatible with the native BCC format.
-
- Does anyone know the format of the floating point numbers used by Quick
- Basic in MBF? Is there any C or C++ code around that can convert MBF
- floats into native float numbers? I can also write the routines myself
- if I can get my hands on some documentation on the MBF float format.

- Thanks muchly,
