// <synopsis>
// This class contains static toLocal functions to convert data from VAX
// format to local format and vice-versa. It only handles VAX D-float format.
// Another class should be implemented to handle VAX G-float format.
// <p>
// The functions work well on big-endian as well as little-endian machines.
// </synopsis>
 
// <motivation>
// Archived WSRT data can be stored in the old VAX format
// (little-endian and VAX D-float floating point format).
// Conversion functions are needed to read these data.
// </motivation>
 
// <todo asof="$DATE$">
//  <li> Support data type long double.
// </todo>
