static void toLocal (double* to, const void* from, unsigned int nr)

Convert nr values from IBM format to local format. The from and to buffer should not overlap. The char version converts from EBCDIC to ASCII, while the unsigned char version is a simple copy.

static void fromLocal (void* to, float from)
static void fromLocal (void* to, double from)

Convert one value from local format to IBM format. The from and to buffer should not overlap. The char version converts from ASCII to EBCDIC, while the unsigned char version is a simple copy.
