I am looking for a 'clean' way to read
floating point numbers from a binary file
or stream.
Is there a way to do the counterpart of
C's address passing to "stuff" a float with
the correct binary data to set it's value?
I've seem scheme's where the mantissa and exponent
are extracted and the float computed, but surely
this is not the best way to go.
Any ideas how common lisp would best handle this?
Thanks,
