The legacy VTK formats are agnostic with respect to endinaness, which is
one reason why I almost never use the binary versions of them.
If you can't link to VTK and use vtkXMLImageDataWriter, as David
suggested, then another option is to write a small C++ or Python program
to convert from legacy ASCII to XML binary. For example:

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I cannot incorporate any
dependencies into my code. Since posting my message, I have
discovered that I can put a text header (similar to VTK ASCII) and
then the data in binary into the output files. The problem (if there
a problem!) has now evolved to getting the binary fwrite to be big
endian - or is there another way?
