Want a function that determines a double or float given its 80-bit IEEE 754 SANE (big endian) representation

Hi, I'm parsing some files, each containing (among other things) 10 bytes said to represent an IEEE 754 extended floating point number, in SANE (Standard Apple Numerical Environment) form, as SANE existed in the early 1990s (so, big endian). Note that the number actually stored will probably
