Hi,

use:

options big_endian

in your .ctl file.

Take a look in http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html
Find "control file" and then "options" :

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)

Regards,
Ricardo
