The structure of the file is clear (see below) the first line is made of
integers and doubles with the fifth being a text string followed by arrays
of double precision number.:
int1 int2 double1 double2 text int3 int4 int5
(array of double)
here is an example of file:
1 1 1.0 1.0 "HEAD" 160 224 3
23.4 34.5 ......
I tried to read the first line with readBin (results are copied below):
> zz <- file("heads.hds", "rb")
> readBin(zz,what="integer",n=2)
[1] 1 1
> readBin(zz,what="double",n=2)
[1] 7.812502e-03 6.013470e-154
> readBin(zz,what="character",n=1)
[1] " HEAD "
> readBin(zz,what="integer",n=3)
[1] 14680064 65536 0
