   Is there a tool for converting a file containing unformatted 64-bit 
   Cray floating point numbers into 32-bit IEEE floats and vice versa?

   I see that Unicos has a few routines for doing this (IEG2CRAY and
   CRAY2IEG) but I want the code so that I can compile it for various 
   machines.   

The NCSA HDF (file format) and DTM (network protocol) libraries have
routines that do this.  FTP to ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /HDF and
/Collab/DTM for more information.
