kevin,
i don't have any java code, but i can give you some
unsolicited advice. parsing .dcd files cleanly and
reliably is a painful exercise. dcd is fortran unformatted
binary output. as such the exact number and order of bytes
in it changes due to endianness and other characteristics
of the machine or the compiler (and compiler flags) that
were used when compiling the original code.
the VMD molfile library contains a plugin that can handle
a very large variety of these different incarnations of
dcd files. it is written in c, so you can consider either
interfacing or translating it to your code.
