I would like to read/write single floats from/to a file (4 bytes, IEEE
Standard 754 format), and need to convert between the floats and a byte
vector, since (as far as I know) MCL does file i/o with bytes only.  This
is for implementing a TIFF image file read/write for floating point format.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Dave
