Bytes should be read in logical order 0,1,2,3... but they might be written in the file in order you describe. You can read two bytes and swap them, or read them as type "short"..? Send the piece of your code that does the attempted raw reading. Usually I read binary files which are created by gambas program, so I haven't ran into this problem.
