I'm still floundering.  This appears to be a 4 byte floating point, which in
C appears to be of type Single.  But when I try ReadSingle, it comes up with
a bizarre number.  I looked at trying to decode it myself, but using the
first bit as a sign bit, the next 8 as the exponent and the rest as the
mantissa, doesn't make sense either.  Does 0x48185800 look correct for
decimal 156?  Any other tips on what I need to do to decode this value?

I appreciate the help,

Dan
