Problem

[Steve Guimond <guimond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:
   I have a binary file with data in an array of size (2220,2275).  I have
read this into Ferret using:

file/var=wv/grid=mygrid/format=stream/type=r4 file.bin

I am able to read the file okay, but when I go to fill the data, I get an
error message such as:

**ERROR: insufficient memory: 5050500 words were requested.
*** NOTE: You can use SET MEMORY/SIZE=xxx to increase memory.
*** NOTE: The "Memory use" section of the FERRET Users Guide has further tips.

so i set the memory to 15 Megawords, but get a segmentation fault every
time I try to plot.  I am using FERRET v5.80 (static) on Linux/Red Hat gcc
2.96.  Is this the right way to read my binary file?

Thanks.
