Hello,

what about converting each byte (represented by an int) to an int32, and then converting those using shifts and logical ors :

"in" being our in_channel:
let b0 = Int32.of_int (input_byte in)
let b1 = Int32.of_int (input_byte in)
let b2 = Int32.of_int (input_byte in)
let b3 = Int32.of_int (input_byte in)

let res = Int32.logor (Int32.logor (Int32.shift_left b0 24) (Int32.shift_left b1 16)) (Int32.logor (Int32.shift_left b2 8) (Int32.shift_left b3 0)).


Hope this helps,

Matthieu

Well, have heard of even 8 bit floats...

32 bit floats can be read. First read the 4 bytes 
I assume you mean four read_bytes calls...



and make an int32 of
them. 
How do I create an int32 with four bytes? 



Then simply call Int32.float_of_bits.
I get this last one, but I can't imagine the previous step.

Thanks

Maurizio
