    Did you look at the switches file produced by:
    DF /help > DF.HLP

    /convert:keyword Specifies the format of unformatted files
    containing
                       numeric data.
                       Keyword is big_endian, cray, ibm, little_endian,

    its probable one of above can be found that matches your file.
