I'm trying to read Grid files produced by a package that I didn't write,
so that I can create contours. I'm pretty sure the files were created by
routines in MS-Fortran.
When I look at them with 'list /h', it seems that there is two bytes of
junk every 64 words, or at the end of a record. Does anybody know whether
this is some wierdness that MicroSoft did for thier implementation of
Fortran Direct Access Files. (Does MS-Fortran support FDA?) Can anybody
tell me what the real format of these records is, so that I can read them
in my C program?
No, I don't have access to a MS-Fortran library, so I can't do my file IO
in Fortran. (I'm using TurboC. I haven't used fortran in 3 years, since I
expunged the last fortran routine from our GIS product, by rewriting it in C)
