PACKED COMP-3 data translation

[stevej@synopsys.synopsys.com (Steven Jukoff)]

Does anyone know how to define or describe the data format
of the COBOL "PACKED COMP-3" format?  Given the definition,
I need to write a 'C' routine to convert it to an integer:
32 bit 2's complement.

I don't expect to have a problem with the routine given the
correct definition.  This is a "real-world" problem.

Thanks in advance and you may have the code if I get the 
definition.
