SUMMARY

BCD2IEEE is a file that includes FORTRAN source code to convert data in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) floating point used in the DECMATH.LIB library provided with Microsoft FORTRAN versions 3.2, 3.3, and 3.31, and IEEE floating-point format used in the coprocessor and emulator libraries provided with subsequent versions of Microsoft FORTRAN.

   ----------------------------------------------------------------

   SDECCVT        A FORTRAN function that converts the Binary Coded
                  Decimal floating-point format for single-precision
                  real numbers to IEEE floating-point format for
                  single-precision real numbers.

   SDECTST.FOR    A FORTRAN program to demonstrate using SDECCVT

   DDECCVT        A FORTRAN function that converts Binary Coded
                  Decimal floating-point format for double-precision
                  real numbers to IEEE floating-point format for
                  double-precision real numbers

   DDECTST.FOR    A FORTRAN program to demonstrate using DDECCVT
