Re: binary file format
We just discussed that in another thread, and the answer from
everybody is yes please, that would be nice. XML file with metadata +
raw files with arrays is one solution. And of course, there are many
standardized file formats we could support in time for communication
with external tools.
Does any mac people know if endian-ness is still a problem for mac/pc
compatibility after Apple moved to Intel CPUs?
