NAME
     INTRO_CONVERSION - Introduction to conversion routines

IMPLEMENTATION
     See individual man pages for implementation details.

DESCRIPTION
     These Fortran-callable subroutines perform conversion of data residing
     in systems memory.

     For more information regarding foreign data conversion, see the
     MIPSpro Application Programmer's I/O Guide.

     The USCCTC and USCCTI routines are available on IRIX systems; both
     routines are documented on the USCCTC man page. In addition, the
     CRY2MIPS and MIPS2CRY routines are available on IRIX systems; these
     routines are documented on the CRY2MIPS man page.

FOREIGN DATA CONVERSION ROUTINES
     The foreign data conversion routines translate data in both directions
     between SGI internal representations and that of other vendors.
     Generally, routines that are inverses of each other are listed under a
     single entry.
