martelsnap - convert Martel "pos-vel" dump files to snapshot 
martelsnap
[parameter=value] 
martelsnap converts a simple binary (fortran)
dump of  phase space coordinates into a standard snapshot(5NEMO)
 formatted
file. These files are amongst created by Hugo Martel’s software, although
are generally useful for any N-body code. 
The following parameters
are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given: 
- in= 
- Input Martel
file. No default. 
- out= 
- Output snapshot file. No default. 
- nbody= 
- Max number
of particles. Default: 262144. 
- headline= 
- Random verbiage       
- swap=t|f 
- Swap
the real (float) numbers. This is needed if the data were produced on a
machine with a different endianism from where you are processing it. [Default:
f] 
unfio(1NEMO)
, bswap(1NEMO)

Data format is a simple binary dump of the single precision coordinates
and velocities of all particles, the following snippet of fortran-77 code
would produce such files: 
    REAL x(N),y(N),z(N),vx(N),vy(N),vz(N),
    OPEN(10,FILE=’posvel.dat’,STATUS=’new’,FORM=’unformatted’)
    WRITE(10) x,y,z,vx,vy,vx
    CLOSE(10)
