Re: Binary data in multiple adjacent files

Now however, updated data comes in much smaller files, each covering
only 1° lat by 1° long. Each file has 1201 * 1201 values, each value
is 2 bytes. (basically elevation in metres for a 92 square metre
area). Each file is roughly 2.8 megs.

You can get all of oz on 2 CDs with ease. Two niggles, first is it
is bigendian INT16. Second, is that the boundary row and colum are
duplicated in each file.

I intend to read in ALL the files and build a single, or a few, files.
That would be a lot simpler, ESP as I intend to do quite a bit of number
crunching over it.
