Well, I had hoped that that would work, but for my floating point images, I
seem to need to use the /LSWAP option of BYTEORDER in order to get things to
work - just doing /SWAP_IF_BIG_ENDIAN fails to work. To be specific, I want
the data to be in 'native' format on my Dec Alpha (oops - Compaq -ooopps,
HP), but to be readable/writable from a Sun workstation. If, on the Sun, I
do:

Read,1,array
Byteorder,/LSWAP,/SWAP_IF_BIG_ENDIAN,array

Then everything works
