CTOF()
 Converts a special 8-byte string into a floating point number
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     CTOF(<cFloatingPointNumber>) --> nFloatingPointNumber

 Argument

     <cFloatingPointNumber>  Designates an 8-byte character string that
     contains a Clipper number in the 64-bit floating point format.

 Returns

     CTOF() returns the number that corresponds in the passed string.

 Description

     Character strings created with FTOC() or XTOC() are changed into
     Clipper numbers.  Note that when you use XTOC(), character strings or
     portions of character strings, can be switched back, if they have been
     displayed as Clipper floating point numbers.

 Examples

     .  Change a number and then change it back:

        CTOF(FTOC(1234.55))        // Result:  1234.55

     .  This also works for XTOC():

        ? CTOF(XTOC(1234.55))      // Result:  1234.55
