Hi Scott,

I thought of that.  4xL would be the same as Q.  But I'm confused that 
the 'pads' are not always adjacent to the longs.

This works on my 32-bit machine.  (The file was written by the 64-bit 
machine.)

header = unpack_from('=4H L H 4x 2H L 4x d L 4x H',buf)

If I changed all the longs to long longs on my 32-bit machine, I don't 
think it would solve the problem.

Regards

Tom
