<B>CVDMBF MBF Double-Precision String to IEEE QB87 only</B>
|
|
|
|
<U>y!</U> = <B>CVSMBF</B>(<U>8-byte-string</U>)
|
|
|
|
Converts a string representation of a double-precision number in
|
|
Microsoft Binary Format to an IEEE-format real.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
<B>Notes:</B> 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.
