It's less of an operating system issue and more of a CPU (big-endigan/little-endian) issue. If you had Linux systems installed on both machines, it would still not work. And in some cases, different OSes on the same machine will have small differences in how the databases are built. The 3.2 code has htdump/htload utilities, which send databases to ASCII files which are platform independent and can then be "reloaded." The 3.1.6 release will have these utilities as well. If you'd like to try a pre-release of 3.1.6, see <http://www.htdig.org/snapshots/> -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
