I posted the following question on the main R-help bb with no response so
sorry if I'm double posting.

I'm trying to read a binary file created by a fortran code using readBin
and readChar. Everything reads fine (integers and strings) except for
double precision numbers, they are read as huge or very small number
(1E-250,...). I tried various endianness (big and little), swap, But
nothing has worked so far.
I also tried on R 64 bit for linux and windows (R 2.14) and R 2.11 on
windows XP 32 bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
