[comp.os.misc] data transformation between computers

fax0357@uoft02.utoledo.edu (03/23/90)

I have a problem converting binary data from a Bruker NMR with a ASPECT 3000 24
bit computer running ATICOS to a VAX running VMS (specifically a VAX 3500).
From the NMR side of things, it is preferred if the binary data file is sent to
the VAX from the ASPECT using a binary Kermit program which is currently on
both of the computers. The problem now is to convert this data which is
unreadable on the VAX to a readable form (either formatted or unformatted). Is
it necessary to know additional details about the binary format of the ASPECT
computer besides the bit length? If I can figure out what specific system calls
to use, I can write the appropriate Fortran program. Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated since I know Fortran, but have never used VAX system calls
to any great extent.

Please respond via E-mail as I don't normally read this news group.

Thank you very much in advance.
