Reading the previously mentioned page closely I found section that
contains conversion functions.

What I would still like to see is a "Double2Real" which goes in the
opposite direction of the "Real2Double". That way, I can read the data
from the existing files and then save new data back to the same files. The
loss of precision is not important since the numbers we are using have
limitati
Well, I found a "Real2Double" function in the System unit that converts
from an old TP 6-byte "real" to an 8-byte double. (Guess I should have
looked a little harder, there.) But I'm not seeing anything going the
