Are there any facilities in Dos to convert a binary file to the XDR binary
format.
I am receiving binary data from a PC which i would then like to process on
a Unix(Sun) Workstation using the IDL software.
Any advice will be very welcome.

Another option would be to use netCDF on the PC by getting the
netCDF subroutine library (free) from pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.z
on unidata.ucar.edu

Then IDL could read in the netCDF file. netCDF is binary
transportable (actually built on XDR), and will also let
you preserve file header info.
