CVSMBF MBF Single-Precision String to IEEE QB87 only
y! = CVSMBF(4-byte-string)
Converts a string representation of a single-precision number in
Microsoft Binary Format to an IEEE-format real.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The IEEE format for real numbers offers more accuracy and
range than the Microsoft Binary Format. But the IEEE
format is supported only by the QB87 version of the
compiler, and programs compiled with QB87 run only on
machines equipped with 8087 or 80287 coprocessors.
An alternative to converting MBF data with CVSMBF and
CVDMBF is to compile the program with the /MBF command-
line switch. This option converts numbers as they're read
from a random file, then reconverts them before writing
them back to the file.
