Ok, here is my current very frustrating problem. I have ALOT of IDL
work done the general idea is that I read in binary files that are
stored in very specific format...blah blah, the details aren't
important, the important part is that rewriting all of that becuase of
the current problem is not a desirable solution. Here's the problem.
All the info is read in in structures and the data types are dictated
by the binary files. One is an array of long 32-bit integers. I have
discovered that I need to do some calculations on this array, that
require the data type to be something other than interger. Normally I
would just use the float command and be on my merry way...but for all
the other programs to work I need the float arrays to be back in the
handy dandy structures...is there anyway I can easily change that
datatype?
