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 ...

Cheers,
Wol
