Hi Nick,

Bug was ...

Code:

dataout = dataout[:first_pdb_record+i*8]+\
                          struct.pack('>L',ofs)+struct.pack('L',it)+\
                          dataout[first_pdb_record+i*8+8:]

needs a '>L', not an plain 'L' to keep things properly big endian

Code:

dataout = dataout[:first_pdb_record+i*8]+\
                          struct.pack('>L',ofs)+struct.pack('>L',it)+\
                          dataout[first_pdb_record+i*8+8:]

once I made those changes then my earlier error message goes away.

Take care,

KevinH
