Description of utility programs:

bin2asc <input file> <output file> [< points per row>]
	Converts (sequentially ordered, floating point) binary
	file to ascii file, with one word printed per line.
	The points per row is optional, and if not specified
	defaults to 1.

float2int <input file> <output file>
	Converts floating point binary data to integer binary
	data.  Assumes that have correct byte order.

int2float <input file> <output file>
	Converts integer binary data to floating point binary
	data.  Assumes that have correct byte order.

look_at <file>
	Allows a binary file to be examined, one word at a time.
	Prints out specified word in floating point, integer and
	hex (not all are meaningful for a given word, of course),
	and also all of these with the byte ordering swapped.
	The first word in the file is word number 0.

look_byte <file>
	Allows a binary file to be examined.  Given a position
	in bytes (not words) this prints out the next four bytes
	in floating point, integer and hex and the next two bytes
	in short and hex and the byte itself (not all are
	meaningful for a given position, of course),
	and also all of these with the byte ordering swapped.
	The first byte in the file is byte number 0.

look_for <file> <tolerance>
	Allows the searching of a floating point binary file for
	specified values, with equality within specified tolerance.

mat2par: <matrix file> [<swap>]
	Converts Felix-style matrix file to Azara format.  It just
	creates a par file with name <matrix file>.par so no
	duplicate of the data file is made.  If a second argument
	is given (it does not matter what) then the par file
	includes the key word 'swap'.

par2mat: <par file> <matrix file>
	Converts Azara format file (as specified in par file) to
	Felix-style matrix file.  The data file is duplicated
	(because Felix data file has a header).  No byte swapping
	is done.

swap <input file> <output file>
	Converts the input file to the output file by swapping
	the byte ordering of each word.
