little-endian and big-endian

[Davide Sacchetti]

use "options" keyword on your ctl file ...

"options byteswapped" Indicates the binary data file is in reverse byte
order from the normal byte order of your machine

big_endian Indicates the data file contains 32-bit IEEE floats created
on a big endian platform (e.g., sun, sgi)

little_endian Indicates the data file contains 32-bit IEEE floats
created on a little endian platform (e.g., iX86, and dec)

(from on line manual)

you can also use grads to convert from litlle/big endian to the normal
byte order of your machine (setting gxout fwrite)

bye bye
