Open unrecognised stack

Hi all

I have some stacks that I'd like to open with ImageJ, more quickly than
having to go File->Import->Raw, and recovering stack dimensions with a
hex editor.

The recorded macro command goes like this:
run("Raw...", "open="+imagename+" image=8-bit width=900 height=160
offset=512 number=496 gap=0");

I can get the stack dimensions from the first 6 bytes of the header (512
B header) e.g. hex 84 03 A0 00 F0 01 = 900 x 160 x 496 pixels.

Is there a quick and dirty way to get the stack dimensions from the
header so that I can make a wee macro, or could a file opener plugin be
extended?

Cheers,

Mike
