importing a binary raster layer into Grass

[huddle at Picard.EOS.UoGuelph.Ca]

Hello,
    I am presently using a program which output data in 4 byte binary format and1 byte binary. I would like to import these files into grass. I would appreciateany suggestions as to how i can create the needed support files.

    I tried to doctor r.in.ascii by changing the input read to a binary read 
using "fread" but I have not been successful. I have tried to read in 4 bytes
into a long integer space then to place that onto the row buffer from which it
is written to a file.

   Thanks
