Hello jj,

I was reporting my experiences with Mac OS X 10.4, not 10.5. But it is good to know that my future testing with 10.5 would also fail.

Having found out on a non-Apple web page that (apparently) AppleScript is always reading binary files in big-endian mode, I have abandoned this script. I wrote a C command line tool in just a few minutes that did exactly what I wanted.

Thanks for your help, everybody. If there is more information on how to do this in AppleScript, I am still interested!

First, running Leopard I do reiterate I get an error.

Ooops! I didn't read before this issue was Leopard-related. I thot it was only Intel-related.

I can only confirm that reading small reals works fine in my machine, OS X
10.4.11 ;-)
