[Paraview] RAM friendly file format?

[Dominik Szczerba]

I dont see how format might affect RAM, if at all, ASCII would be more
demanding if read into memory at once (unlikely).
I suggest legacy binary format as fast and accurate but I don;t know how
to check/change byte order from fortran. Once you figure out pls let us
know.
