I need this in a pretty bad way, (lots of EEG and fMRI data gets exchanged in this format these days, and these files are big enough that you really don't want to mess around too much...) So that if I take a peak and don't think I can hack it (as it were), I'd be willing to pay something for free software that can do this, assuming I can get our purchasing people to do a PO for this. jking ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
