[Linux-decnet-user] librms + vax floating point

[<ada...@br...>]

Hi

im successfully using librms to open and read a binary file on a vax
system.

using '#pragma pack (1)' i was able to get my struct to be the same size as
the record length of the file, and can read most of the data successfully,
including strings and ints. But floats are a problem, they are totally
wrong.  I figure vax maybe stores floats in a different format from my i386
pc, and have found various references to things like

vax 'D-Float' format
and
TARGET_FLOAT_FORMAT VAX_FLOAT_FORMAT  (but i think that is for cros compiling).

Does anyone know how to manipuilate/read floats from a vax binary file?

Cheers

Adam
