Hello,

I wonder if that capability is via READ_ASCII() or using the more general READF
procedure? I haven't explored using READ_ASCII() since I have needed to
extract tidbits out of the header for this particular data set. Of course,
today, I'm on a Wintel machine. It makes me wish my fingers were platform
independent.
