I've been trying to make code able to read data taken by the epics 
archiver (AR) in binary format.  So far, I haven't been able to figure 
out the format of the binary file that the archiver produces.  Can 
somebody email me with a description of this format (ie where the data 
and timestamps are stored, what the extraneous numbers after each channel 
heading are, if the data are stored in 4 or 8 or 16 byte 
format (as floating point numbers), etc.)?  If not, could I get a copy of 
the pertinent source code from AR or ARR?  (I have this code, but 
it's difficult to read)  Although I have ARR, I'm interested in
automatically breaking down the data into 128 files corresponding to 
each of our channels every 24 hours.  Thanks.
