maps in R

as pertains the binary databases, I was able to (easily) successfully
use the Rstreams functions to read the "opposite"-endian binary file.

The binary file was created on a Sun and successfully read on a Pentium:


s <- openstream(filename, "read")
bogus  <- readint(s, n = 1, size = 4, signed = TRUE, swapbytes = TRUE);
datvec <- readfloat(s, n=nLats*nLons*nLevels, size=4)
bogus  <- readint(s, n = 1, size = 4, signed = TRUE, swapbytes = TRUE);
closestream(s)


In this case, the binary file was a Fortran unformatted write, so there
were 4byte record words at the beginning and end.  Not using them does
make life a little more dangerous.

As it turns out, the original "poster" (Claudia) works across town in
a different division, we'll probably work together on this and see what
we can come up with.
