Everybody's been jumping in saying what the tool is. What they haven't
said is "do you need it" because it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with a
port from AIX to linux, and everything to do with the hardware.

I presume you're going from RS/6000 (or similar) to Intel? In that case
you do need the tool, but forget about the O/S, check (as I are think
you are doing) the endian-ness of the processor. That's all that's
relevant. If you were running AIX and linux on the same hardware you
(probably) wouldn't need it (you can get hardware which is
soft-switchable between big and little endian :-).

Cheers,
Wol

Subject: [U2] converting universe files between aix/linux

hey all,
    I am attempting to make a QA virtual universe system and I think I
am going to have a big Indian/little Indian issue (when moving the
databases from aiz to linux), I seem recall that there was some tool
available to convert the databases but for the life of me I cannot
remember what its called.

Also if anyone has any tools they already developed to do this and would
be willing to share I would greatly appreciate it as well as any gotchas
you may have run across doing such a conversion

thanks
