[Gate-users] interfile format

[Peter Bloomfield]

Sebnem

There are a number of ways to read and display this file; I have just tried 
succesfully with both Amide and Xmedcon.

The hdr file is an interfile header and descibes the format of the data in the 
file.

Someing already suggested Amide, try also Xmedcon; google Amide and that site 
has a link for Xmedcon. They are both freely available and compiled for a few 
flavours of OS. If yours isn;t there then they are relatively simple to 
compile from source.
