Is there a built-in way to decode/encode IEEE754 float number?

Hi, Dear LispWorks Users

I'm trying to (re-)implement SNMP protocol [1], some part need encode a
single-float number into bytes which follow IEEE754 spec, and decode
these bytes.

I think maybe I needn't implement IEE754 by myself if LispWorks store
single-float number in the same format, am I right?
is there any built-in function or method to do this? Only for LispWorks
is OK.

Thanks.
