[comp.sys.ultrix] REAL*4 VMS v. ULTRIX

kemp@uiatma.atmos.uiuc.edu (John Kemp) (06/18/91)

We have a bunch of REAL*4 binary files on a VMS machine.
We want to move them to an ULTRIX machine.  Here are the 
two $64,000,000 questions:

1) If we want to ftp the binaries, how should they be converted
   first before ftping them to the Ultrix machine?

2) What are the differences between the REAL*4 format on
   VMS and Ultrix?

Correct answers will be rewarded with a network cookie!

Depends on the Record and File attributes, More detail PLEASE.

If you are talking Ultrix on a VAX, NONE.  Otherwise, I don't know.
