Hi,

sorry, I guess my comment came across as a lot less friendly than I'd
intended. Hadn't had my coffee yet... sorry :-)

Anyway, your code, as it stands, works fine for me (v7.0) so long as:
1) fname is a string variable that points to a file that actually
exists (and I have read access to, I guess),
2) mx & my & mz are defined scalars,
3) mx * my * mz * bytes-per-pixel (as defined by data_type) isn't >
the file length,
and
4) I have a version of IDL that has swap_endian_inplace somewhere in
its library (I think you'd have to have a fairly old version for this
not to be the case, certainly I wouldn't expect any problems with v6.3
unless your !PATH is completely messed up for some reason.)

What error message are you getting? As you've changed versions I would
suspect that your FNAME variable may be defined as a relative path to
your old IDL directory or something. What happens if you define fname
using dialog_pickfile first? I'm stabbing in the dark here without
knowing what the error thrown is, though.

Regards,
Chris
