While working with MS VC++ trying to create programs to create *.df3 I've found
it very difficult. I can only imagine how difficult it is, with the limited
number of converters, for people who have little or no C++ experience (such as
myself, never heard of big endian or little endian till working with *.df3
files in C++).

Would it be possible to include a *.df4 format where instead of dimension and
voxel data being in byte code, it was in some type of standard *.txt format?
Possibly ASCII? I realize it increase runtime (not sure how much, but I suppose
"Dramatically increase runtime" might be the right answer"). Even thought a
*.df4 option is included the *.df3 option can also be included for people where
runtime does matter.

Any possibility of this?
