| Comments: | SWAP4 using LOGICAL*1 does not seem to work. CHARACTER*1 replacing LOGICAL*1 seems to work, but the best choice for byte swapping is the "convert='big_endian'" option in the Fortran OPEN statement. If input is a character variable holding binary data, the "convert='big_endian'" option will not work. Then the SWAP4 approach is necessary. |
