'writeu' is a flat binary write. Same a fortran write with 'direct'
access specified or C block IO.

Go to the Applications page:
    http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/index.shtml

Under category "File I/O" click on "Read Binary"

"fbindirread" is more general that "cbinread"

Please read the section on binary portability.
==================================
I suggest reading the Mini-Language manual at:
    http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/

==================================
FYI: ncl-install is for "installation" questions.

Please send language/user question to ncl-talk at ucar.edu

Good Luck
