use R-Project to make station files

[Costas Douvis]

It worked. Thank you Luiz Rodrigo Tozzi

I used size=8 for the character variables and size =4 for the real and integer variables. I didn't expect that. I thought the integers needed size=2 but that proved to be wrong. I found it easier than using Fortran :)

Hi Kostas

I use R to read grads binary files using the function
readBin("binaryfile.bin",numeric(),size=4,nlon*nlat). This R function
reads it directly and I think the function "writeBin" is what you
need.

The function "seek" can be usefull for you too.
