 The {\tt rw} package provides a very rudimentary binary I/O capability
 for quickly writing {\it single record} direct-access Fortran binary files.

 Package {\tt rw} is an interface to the more general {\tt mdsio} package.
 The {\tt rw} package can be used to write or read direct-access Fortran 
 binary files for two-dimensional XY and three-dimensional XYZ arrays.
