[Numpy-discussion] R: R: R: fast numpy.fromfile skipping data chunks

>Indeed, but that offset "it should be a multiple of the byte-size of dtype" as the help says.

My mistake, sorry, even if the help says so, it seems that this is not the case in the actual code. Still, the problem with the size of the available data (which is not necessarily a multiple of dtype byte-size) remains.
