I was playing with reading in binary files written in FORTRAN instead of ascii files. I had some trouble reading them with dx until I included a header statement in the general file to read in 4 bytes first before starting to read the locations. After that it somehow worked. Can anyone tell me what those 4 bytes are for and if this is neccessary and the same on all platforms ? Is there some information about binary files somewhere? What I found in the users/reference/quick-start guides wasn't really sufficient for me ...
Thanks in advance Alex
