Hi Tbone,

For the most part, including the term "DEC" on this exchange is effective in limiting the number of responses you will get.

Conversion of number types between different platforms can usaually be handled by byte swaps, word swaps and type casting depending what you are coming from and what platform you are running on.

If you need additional help, please indicate what data you have and what it should equal and the contributors here can help you figure out the details.

BTW: What kind of DEC ie 8, 10, 11, 20, VAX, Alpha, Rainbow?
