Bruce, with IDL, reading binary files is quite simple. For example,
your case of a 128x128 image of 2-byte pixels could be handled as:
image=intarr(128,128)
openr,1,filename
readu,1,image
close,1
and that takes care of it. Your second case could be handled as
header=bytarr(100)
image=fltarr(128,128)
openr,1,filename
readu,1,header,image
close,1
Hope this helps. In this newsgroup, you'll find people are very
helpful on all levels of questions.

Regards,
Jack
