There are lots of options:

1. You should be able to read the existing files. Just fiddle around
with the SWAP_ENDIAN keywords until it works. ;-) That's got to be
less painful than rewriting as ASCII.

2. Is this IDL to IDL? In that case, you can rewrite the binary files
using /XDR for portability.

3. Rewrite the files as netCDF or HDF, which are portable by definition.
