They should be read as floats instead of longs, per the following message:

Hi,

I found your Matlab scripts (http://emg.nysbc.org/software/mrctools/mrc_specification.php) to read Chimera .mrc files. Thanks for writing these, they worked great.

One thing I did find which I wanted to share with you, the file did not read in the cellx, celly or cellz's correctly (or the angles that followed for that matter). If you read it as a float instead of a long it does however work.

Here are the relevant lines:

...
mx = fread(fid,1,'long');
my = fread(fid,1,'long');
mz = fread(fid,1,'long');
cellx = fread(fid,1,'float');
celly = fread(fid,1,'float');
cellz = fread(fid,1,'float');
...

Thanks,
Matt

Also, are we goign to contnue to offer a mrc reading module?
