Subject: Byte order problem with fortran source conversion Hi, A friend is trying to convert a very large fortran program from a Vax to a sun. He's running into a byte ordering problem. When compiled on the sun, the program writes a binary data file that has bytes in the wrong order (though integers seem to be okay). Hand translation has proven error prone and slow. What is desired is a mechanical translator that will convert the fortran (with lots of ugly equivalence statements and common blocks) from Vax to Sun. Any suggestions/references would be appreciated. Please mail responses to: dgaboury@gulf.UVic.ca or edavies@uvunix.bitnet edavies@uvicctr.UUCP Thankyou. Eric Davies
