Since some of you were using unix systems, I've had good results by
stripping the header from this dataset using

  dd if=Stack_Cor1750_50_256_256_NoZF of=dataset.raw bs=20190 skip=1

The output file "dataset.raw" is a 256 x 256 x 250, 1 byte per pixel
file (16384000 bytes in total).

Really nice data... thanks for the URL!

Best,
