[MUD-Dev] [CODE QUESTION] How to encode floats into bytes?

[Ben Greear <greear#cyberhighway,net>]

What is the standard way (if there is one) to encode floating
point numbers (double too I guess) into bytes for transport accross
the network.

I'm using c++, on both ends (encode/decode).

It would seem like there would be a method to do this somewhere!

Thanks,
Ben
