[R] Problem with writeBin and importing into gfortran compiled programs

Hi all, I'm having problems trying to export binary arrays from R and importing them into fortran (linux openSUSE 10.3 (x86_64), gfortran compiler, fortran 90/95 program). Let's say the problem can be expressed as: R part whini - runif(1000) writeBin(whini,fwhini.dat) f90 part
