A simple question, I hope....  I have a binary file format that I want to
slurp into R using readBin.  There are a couple of fields in the file that
are 4-byte floats.  Since R has no "float" data type (4-byte), I am
wondering how to go about this task.  I could simply do all the work in C,
but the format is pretty simple, so I wanted to do it using just R.  I did
see as.single, but it appears that is for passing things to C and not much
more.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
