Paul: The systems are all PC's of various sizes so the endianness will be the same. Is there a problem though with operating system version (i.e. Windows XP vs. Vista vs. Linux? I am avoiding Unicode although I did find that some of the geonames data has embedded Unicode attributes. For the time being I stripped that off but it takes away some of the native language information. Geonames.org data also has a lot of symbols that my code is not too happy with.

Or is everything in the db files using network order and fixed width types? _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users This message and any enclosures are intended only for the addressee.
