usage:

[V,info]=ReadData3D;

or,

[V,info]=ReadData3D(filename);

outputs,

Always the following fields are present
info.Filename : Name of file
info.Dimensions : Dimensions of Volume

Warning!
The read functions are not fully implemented as defined in
the file-format standards. Do not use this function for
critical applications.

Question,
If you know an example file of GE_Version_4, GE_Version_5 or some other often used 3D medical format, please leave a comment (so I can implement that format).
