	Hi all, 

	I'm trying to input data representing a particle system using the 
VECT BINARY format type.  I first made sure it worked with an ascii file 
containing the same information.  However, when I try and let Geomview 
have a go at the binary representation of the data, it gives an error 
message stating that the "VECT polyline/color counts inconsistent with 
header".  As far as I can tell, though, the numbers all add up.  All I 
changed with my program to generate these files was write to a binary 
stream, and remove the newlines between the different fields, but not 
after the title header.  ie: "VECT BINARY\n"  Has anyone else run across 
a similar problem?  I'd appreciate any help, thanx.

	Scott
