Table of Contents 1. This host computer, if it is not a VAX, may have a different convention for interpreting unformatted floating point data values. This is done by reading the bytes bit by bit, converting them to floating point numbers, and then writing the results to another file. The motivation behind writing this program was our observation and personal experience that while many users are switching from VAX computers to unix computers such as SUN, SGI, and DEC alpha computers, there are many data files created by VAX computers that must now be used on other machines. This requires that the data be converted to the floating point format of several different types of computers.
