Thanks to all who responded to my call for help. Fortunately, as I read the responses, I realized I was doing everything ok; it turns out my error was in writing the file. The file represents a structure containing information about my array and the array itself. When I created the file, I was writing the header in ascii, then, in binary, I was writing the header *again*, followed by the binary array. Duh. My bad. Thanks again for the help... matthew ____________________ mtadams@columbine.hsc.colorado.edu Matthew T. Adams University of Colorado Health Sciences Center 4200 E 9th Ave, C268-68 Denver, CO 80262
