antonio,
what sensor/instruement was used to record your 'band interleaved (by
scan line)' data.  as you probably know, .bil is not a detailed file
format standard, but a general description of the orientation of spectral
and spatial dimensions in spectral image data.  do you know the dimensions
of the detector, the data type used to store, the number of spectral bands? 
with that information it one might proceed with some expectation of quick
success.
in the absence of information, try the following
- look for an associated header file or 'more' the data file to see
if there is text header information.
 - dig into the file, read it in byte/int2/... pieces to look for repeating
patterns which you might recognize as bands... hope for simplicity...
 - before digging though i'ld go to the source of the data file for
information.
good luck, george

 how to do this or even give me pointers to an IDL function that performs
 this operation.
Many thanks in advance.</blockquote>
