Ups, should have phrased that better. I do know the difference of course.
But I won't go on about how I'm fighting with the flu and having a headache
hinders me from some plain thoughts... Ups again, just did that. ;-)

That's the tricky bit: the conversion. I don't know the commands/libraries
I'd have to use with Java to convert float/double to bytes, and then again
which commands/libraries I'd have to use to write them to disk. I'll go
around searching once I actually attempt a df3 stunt, but I thought maybe
someone has had experience with that already, so I asked.

Is it possible to use more than just a single byte? Or would I be getting
myself into trouble (file format-wise) with that?
