[Nek5000-users] Problem reading binary .fld files into postnek

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Chris,

What type of .rea file do you have ?  (Do you have .re2, or just
standard .rea?)

Also, take a look at p66 and p67 in your .rea file -- they should
either be 4 or 6, depending on whether your file extension is .fld
or .f00000

My guess is that fixing those values should resolve the issue.

Please let me know if this works.

Best, Paul
