Mark,

Thank you for your replay and your recommendation.

Finally I found the crux of the matter. It was caused by the different
way
to treat " fwrite(fp, "w") " sentence on Linux/Unix and MS Windows.
(Initially, my program was developped on Linux and currently to
transfer it)

On MS Windows, when I use IDL6.0 to read (openr, readu) data generated
by
gcc3.4.2 (Mingw32), it produces large values and prompts
" Program caused arithmetic error: Floating underflow " , so I
suspected
it is caused by gcc (transferred from Linux), then I used
SWAP_ENDIAN .
Perhaps it is a unreasonale trial.

Any way, it has been defeated!!

Thank you!

Tony
