CVS
Converts an four byte string to an single-precision variable
result = CVS( str )
str
Does a binary copy from a 4-byte-string to a Single variable. The result will have a sense only if the string contained a IEEE754 formated single value, as the one generated by MKS.
This function is useful to read numeric values from buffers without using a Type definition.
Syntax
Usage
result = CVS( str )
Parameters
str
A String exactly four bytes in length with a binary copy of an single-precision variable stored in it.
Return Value
Description

Example
Dim a As Single, b As String
a=4534.4243
b=MKS(a)
Print a, CVS(b)
Sleep
a=4534.4243
b=MKS(a)
Print a, CVS(b)
