Thanks a lot netlanders! I didn't expect to get as many responses as I
did. Instead of individual acknowledgements I've been obliged to give
a mass Thanks else I'll spend quite a few hours doing just that!

To summarize, most respondents suggested creating an ascii file from
my binary file on the source machine (which I have access to),
transferring the ascii file to the pc, reading the file and recreating
the corresponding binary file. Though it might not be the fastest and
most elegant, it sure does the job and very well too. (Wonder why it
never occured to me before posting my question. I guessed that if I
had done it the other way for integers, [actually scanned-image files]
that somebody might have been obliged someday to do the inverse in
float. {Afterall why reinvent the wheel} ).

In my original posting I specified Intel 16bits to show I wasn't
talking about a 386. (Of course whoever heard of 16 floats)
