Details:

Trying to read binary data using FREAD with PRECISION set to different
arguments produces only "double" as answers.
EXAMPLE:
fidw=fopen("test.bin","w");
fwrite(fidw,[100],"int8");
fclose(fidw);
fidr=fopen("test.bin","rb");
val=fread(fidr,1,"int8")
fclose(fidr);
whos val

Attr Name    Size     Bytes  Class
==== ====    ====     =====  =====
     val     1x1       8  double
