Subject: | Re: help with reading floats from file |
> > I have trouble reading binary floating point data (4bytes/value) from a > file generated on a sun/unix into my code compiled with djgpp. For starters, Suns are big-endian and i386 are little-endian, so binary formats in general (even integers) are not going to be compatible. Secondly, floating point binary formats aren't guaranteed to be the same across platforms. You're best bet is to convert the values to strings for file storage.
