Hello,

I need to import some floating point numbers generated in a C program (double or long double) on an IEEE754 compliant computer, into a MATHEMATICA program. The essential issue is that I have to be sure that in both programs I have IDENTICAL values of these numbers. Is there any way to do this? It seems to me that transferring numbers written in decimal format, or converting the decimal format to exact rational numbers does not do the job, since the decimal format may not be fully equivalent to the binary content, due to representation errors (in the C program).
