This may seem like something elementary to some of you, but I have a 
problem that I'm supposed to implement, and I'm having trouble coming up 
with ideas on how to do it.  I need to create 30-bit words, read in 
types like integer, binary coded decimal, and 60-bit floats, and convert 
them to 32-bit words, based on their types.  I think I can figure out 
how to make the type 15-bit (any suggestions are helpful though), but 
how do I convert them to 32-bit (or 64-bit in the last case) words, 
keeping the correct values?  Any ideas are certainly appreciated.

Thank you,
Dave Hopkins
