Check/understand the Fortran Binary file format specification with Emacs.

Check/understand the Fortran Binary file format specification with Emacs.

[Hongyi Zhao]

I've a FORTRAN Binary file [1], and I want to check/understand what's
in the file, so that I can read it with FORTRAN/python, etc. The first
thing is to find and confirm the file format specification used by it.

Any hints for achieving this aim with Emacs?

The file is small and can be opened using `hexl-find-file' which is
Emacs' hexadecimal editor.
