[gdal-dev] Reading raw bin raster. Need help with .vrt please.

Hi,

I need help setting up the .vrt file to read a raw bin file. This is 
what I figured out about the files:

3601 row x 3601 columns, big endian byte order, 2-byte unsigned 
integer.  Some files are 2-byte signed integer or byte.  They have the 
following Extent. -72.0001388888888840,-1.0001388888888889 : 
-70.9998611111111018,0.0001388888888889.  Perhaps Georeferencing should 
be done in another step or can it be done in the .vrt?

I figure the file would look like this but I need help with the big 
endian, 2-byte unsigned int and ByteOrder.

<VRTDataset rasterXSize="3601" rasterYSize="3601">
     <VRTRasterBand dataType="Byte" band="1" subClass="VRTRawRasterBand">
         <SourceFilename 
relativetoVRT="1">s01w072_slope.bin</SourceFilename>
         <ImageOffset>????</ImageOffset>
         <PixelOffset>????</PixelOffset>
         <LineOffset>?????</LineOffset>
         <ByteOrder>????</ByteOrder>
     </VRTRasterBand>
</VRTDataset>

Thanks in advance.
