Question on NCL reading binary file

Hi all,

I have a question for fbinrecread:
On this page: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/
fbinrecread.shtml
There is the example 1. It says that: if a binary file written in
this way using fortran:
      integer a(5)
      real x(100), y(399), z(128,64)

      open (11,file="example01",form="unformatted")

      write (11) a ! 1st record [rec_num=0]
      write (11) x ! 2nd record [rec_num=1]
      write (11) y ! 3rd record [rec_num=2]
      write (11) z ! 4th record [rec_num=3]

This binary file can be read by NCL in this way:
      fili = "example01" ; input file
      a = fbinrecread (fili, 0, 5, "integer") ; 1st record
is zero
      x = fbinrecread (fili, 1, 100, "float") ;
2nd one
      y = fbinrecread (fili, 2, 399, "float") ; 3rd record
is two
      z = fbinrecread (fili, 3, (/ 64,128 /), "float") ; 4th record
is three

My question is that If I write a binary file in this way:
      open (12,file="example02", form="unformatted")
      write (12) a,x,y,z

then how to use NCL to read "example02" binary file?

Thanks.

Guangshan
