It was independant of the terminal type. Then I found that the sparc was not made by God, and that I had to turn the knob in config.h from little into BIG endian. Here are the first 4 lines of confing.h (after correction): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> /* #define LITTLE_ENDIAN */ /* As God intended */ #define BIG_ENDIAN /* Otherwise, that is as Sun intended ... */ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now every thing is OK, at least on the sparc. Earlier, I had used the modula2 version a lot on a vax. The new one is even better, except that a README file concerning the implementation on various machines would be quite usefull.
