Dear all,

I'm trying to read files written by EGI's NetStation in 2013. The file  
format is unknown to me, and the files having no extension, I assume it's  
their raw format. How would you ensure that ? Did anyone have that issue  
before ? The readers that I found all crash. I tried to read the binary  
format by hand, but didn't find what I expected, described in the specs...

Many thanks,  
Max
