[vtkusers] A question on the datafile format

	Hello,

	I am trying to put together a binary vtk input file. VTK (version
	2.4) complains when reading the datafile as follows:

	      Generic Warning: In vtkDataReader.cxx, line 751
			Error reading binary data!
		  
	The relevant code seems to be a simple end-of-file check. I checked
	the size of the file and the file itself with od; and all seem to
	be correct (not necessarily :-). Thanks in advance.

PS. I set the reply-to address as I am not in the list.
