hex value ==> floating point value

[Q]

Question:

For our GPS application I need to convert the minutes part (heximal value)
to a decimal/floating point value.

So: 41609218 (4 bytes) has to be converted to: 14.034 (approx)

(format of the float is IEEE-754 )

Thanx in advance for any help!!!!

You could try pack/unpack, they might be useful in this case.
