	FIOLIB is a set of routines to provide access to Microsoft Fortran
	'unformatted' format data.

	This archive contains the basic read function from FIOLIB for
	illustrating how to read a Microsoft Fortran unformatted file.
	It is really a simple-minded operation, but should help explain
	the format.

	Good luck, and I hope this helps somebody!

	P.S. - Sorry about all this copyright stuff, but this is the '90's,
		gotta cover ourselves...
