#define CONVERT_MODCOMP_CHAR

Define for each data format if a conversion is needed from the ModComp format to the local format (or vice-versa).

This allows for optimizations in, for example, AipsIO.

The ModComp format is ASCII for strings, a proprietary floating point format and 2-complement for integers (all most significant bit first) with the lengths as shown above.

Change the definitions below if new architectures (whith different lengths for these integer types) are being used.
