Hi,
I was on this List last year then I unsubscribed in May in order to go sailing
4 months with my FB navigation program. It went very well, both the sailing and
the program.
Now, I need some help:
Could anybody tell me how to translate a 4 bytes IEEE float into a 4 bytes BCD
float so that I can use it in FB?
The reason is that I try to read the scenery files from the X-Plane Flight
Simulator. An excellent sim for the Mac, in fact.
I build a Norwegian scenery and I would like to automate levelling of the coast
and lakes by writing a small FB application.
Please answer direct to my email address: michel@...

TIA and Merry Christmas.

Michel
