I've got a bit of spare time these days - I'm doing this Fortran replacement thing between the itty bitty niggley things that crop up.

I've not looked at the CLR yet - I have some C code to write the data, can't be too hard to make it C#

maybe this my big opportunity 😉

lets see ... C# probably stores a double in 8 bytes, assume its the same IEEE format as C (and probably the same as SQL float - or is that too much to ask)

so a 1020 array will be 8160 bytes that can be my CLR custom data type

SQL equivalent can just hold a bit bucket varbinary(8160) per data block.

I'm just thinking aloud here :ermm: - I need to go read something about the CLR :doze:
