Re: read mxd format data

True, NCL does not have a function to read mixed format files.
Presumably, you are talking about binary file. You never stated
the details.

Still, there may be approaches to use.

[1] Create a fortran or C shared object to read the data and return to
     the NCL script. See:
     http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclExtend.shtml

[2] Let's say the mixed binary was written via fortran

     integer ii, jj, kk, qq
     real x(50,30)
     write(...) ii, jj, kk, qq, x

     You can read this in NCL. It requires a 'double read' of each record
     which is a bit cumbersome but it works.

     irec = fbinrecread(...,0,4,"integer") ; ii=irec(0),jj=irec(1), ...
     frec = fbinrecread(...,0,50*30+4,"float")
     x = onedtond(frec(5:), (/30,50/))

====
Another example. similar to [2]

  z = new ( (/kdy,kvar,nlev,nlat/), "float","No_FillValue")
  ihd = new ( 10, "integer", 999)

                                ; specify binary "Endian"
; setfileoption("bin","ReadByteOrder","BigEndian")
   irec=0
   do kd=0,kdy-1
      do kv=0,kvar-1
        ihd = fbinrecread(diri+fili, irec, 10,"integer")
       ;print (ihd)
        irec=irec+1
        z(kd,kv,:,:) = fbinrecread(diri+fili, irec, (/nlev,nlat/), "float")
        irec=irec+1
      end do
   end do
