Reading IEEE floating point on DEC OpenVMS [message #4232]

Is there a way in PV-WAVE or IDL for DEC OpenVMS to read an unformatted
external data file which contains IEEE 4-byte and 8-byte floating point
numbers?

I assume this involves conversion from IEEE representation to the
default internal VAX or AXP representation (F_floating for single
precision and D_floating (VAX) or G_floating (AXP) for double precision).
