- You didn't say how you were opening the file in FORTRAN, what IRIX level
- you are running or what type of machine you are using.
-
- You probably opened the file as `unformatted' under FORTRAN. Unformatted
- files have record marks in them, that would account for extra bytes.
- I think the results would be similar if you openned the file as form="BINARY".
- This isn't REALLY a binary file. Under IRIX > 4.0, use form="SYSTEM", this
- will give you a REAL binary file that you can read in your C application.
- Hope this helps.
