I was just given the following problem, and I'd thought I'd check to
see if its been solved yet:

We have a binary image file of CT slices, complete with header
information and such, and we need to read it into a program.

The information we were given documents that the values stored in the
file are VAX binary 4-byte long integer and VAX binary 4-byte floating
point.

So, is there an easy way to read this into SGI type long integers and
floating point numbers?
