I'm using readu to read a 101 X 55 (2D) binary file

The file has leading and trailing 4 byte tags ( 00 00 56 CC in
hexadecimal).

How to skip past these??!

I use this code, which successfully reads in array, but first column
gets scrambled!~

readu,1,data
byteorder,data,/xdrtof ; byteswap needed

data are output by Linux Fedora 4 Portland Group FORTRAN executable
with -byteswapio flag set on compile

With thanks!
