I have JavaScript forms to answer that FOR SINGLE AND DOUBLE ONLY at
.  I could think about
extending them to EXTENDED, but, as I didn't do it at the time, there
may be a difficulty - yes, there is.

A Web search for John Herbster (JohnH) might locate something useful.

Come to think of it, try in
 which lists and
links
        floatval.pas    floatval.exe    (BP7 DOS mode)
        sixbytes.pas
        tenbytes.pas
though I don't recall what they do (but I can compile them).

OTOH, maybe you only need a compiler and a cast to array of byte.
