What is the preferred way to read a file with fixed-length records
consisting of 2700 unsigned, bigendian short ints each in Ocaml?
Everything is a string?
Yours, Florian Hars.

You can use Bigarray with int16_{signed,unsigned} elements obtained
via map_file. If you want portability (i.e. on a little-endian
platform), you can optionally byte-swap the int16s arithmetically.
Or you can manipulate chars in a string as you suggest.
