WRONG WRONG WRONG. I've transferred type 30 files between three different machines - SCO, linux and Windows - and the files are *BINARY* *COMPATIBLE*. The thing is, they *all* run on x86 boxen. Most nix boxen are big-endian, all doze boxen are little-endian, hence the assumption it's a doze/nix thing. But it isn't - it's an endian thing. Some systems (SPARC?) can be either big or little endian, so you could find yourself having to run fnuxi to transfer files from a machine to itself, should you have a dual-boot system ...
