thanks. i used

strip=read_binary('bin',data_start=na*4,data_type=4,data_dim s=[n2-
n1+1])

which seems to work fine except when na gets too big (my offset is 3
billion or so)

I assume I'll have the same problem in assoc because long ints don't
go that high?

i'm assuming this is not possible then for an offset greater than max
of long?
