Re: Reading Float Data from a binary file into ada

OK.

And yes - it appears that the data dumped is not actually a float but
fixed point. This is how VB apparently handles 'Float' data types.

I'm not sure what Single is. Are you sure C is using float? You should probably use an Ada fixed-point type with the same representation.
