My apologies, Anders, for not responding sooner.

As Andrew suggests, you might get some help from ecattominc. It has code
to support versions of ecat files that predate version 7 (.v) files, but
it has had very little testing. Try running dump_ecat_header and see what
it produces - it attempts to auto-detect the type of ecat file (in a very
primitive way).

Let us know whether you have any success with this.
