Dear Netland:

 I wonder if someone could help me out with a problem.  I am 
 trying to write a C program that reads floating point data 
 (4 bytes) from an IBM diskette that was written by interpreted
 BASIC.  The data does not look like IEEE format.

 Could someone please tell me what the format is?

 Thanks in advance.
