VMS vs UNIX, unformatted binary files [message #3614]

We are trying to read unformatted binary files in IDL on a
UNIX system (HP 9000, series 700). The files to be read have been
generated by IDL on a VAX VMS. The problem is that the bytes are
swapped and the files contain a mixture of lonint, int, floats
and character strings. We have an idl program to read the files
which works well on a VAX but returns garbage on the UNIX system.
Is there a simple way of avoiding this problem?

Greetings,
Rune and Lars
