[ncl-talk] binary file

[Rick Brownrigg]

Well, the math works out: 4x384x384=589824.  Further, the last 8 bytes of
that file do not look like valid floating point values. They are:

 00 00 00 00 00 00 09 00

Do you have reason to believe the data is not being read correctly, or are
you mostly concerned about the warning message?

BTW - the data are mostly zeros.
