Hi Andras, Just a quick note to let you know that I've made some progress but I have not solved the problem yet. The problem comes from the $DATATYPE where in FCS2.0 the data are stored as integer (I) and in FCS3.0 as single float precision (F). I have also tried to read the files with prada and have the same problem. Nolwenn dr.
