fbinwrite and fbindirread ?

Hello,

I'm having trouble reading in binary data that I wrote out using ncl.

I wrote the data out using:

hrmean is an array of size (/18,64,128/)

   setfileoption("bin","WriteByteOrder","BigEndian")
   fbinwrite(file_out,flt2dble(hrmean_avg)) ; convert to double

and am reading the data in using:

   setfileoption("bin","ReadByteOrder","BigEndian")
   hrmean_avg_read = fbindirread(file_in, 0, (/18,64,128/), "double")

but the data looks like garbage.

I must be missing something but I can't see it now.

Any suggestions?

Bob
