Thanks Per, The fscanf routine works twice as fast as load
('filename'). Unfortunately I need an order of magnitude 
improvement, at least.

Paul, how would I go about finding a pre-processor? Would 
any share-ware program that converts ascii to binary work? 
Or does Matlab use a 'unique' version of binary code? (are 
all binary files equal?). Something I could automate 
within Matlab would be perfect. Looking for any ideas...
