Arch String to real?

Is there a way to convert an arch string to a real number??

For example

"12-3/4" or "12 3/4" to 12.75

i an get it to 12 with atof but it leaves off the .75, and wraping rtos around that is not helping

thanks in advance

(fyi its a .dcl making the setq, i know dcl is old but hey its easy for this noob)
