Thanks for confirming my worst fears. In this case it isn't a show stopper
since I am writing this app mostly for internal use and most of the data I am
working with is big endian with IEEE float values. However it means that I can
forget about writing a commercial app since that functionality has to be there.

This is the second major limitation I have encountered in Java ( out of two
trys!), the first being the multi-select feature in jfilechooser that simply
doesn't work. I checked the Sun newsgroup and several people (Angry people!)
had discovered this bug. I see a lot of good in Java but I can't shake the
feeling that it is still only useful for applets or as a teaching language.
Often in the real world all the  type safety seems to gets in the way.
That said, I am going to keep pursuing this and I will keep the group posted.


Thanks again
