Endian Conversion

Hi everybody,

I met this week a problem.

For now, we used TRU64 system based on alpha. Now, we're installing UP-UX systems (on Itanium). And we have problem with our files. Indeed, we use file with COMP-3, COMP-5 data. These files are used on both platforms. (we use also TXT files which describe the files we use)

I didn't found any tool to convert the file from a format to another one...

could you help me ? It is urgent.

I have to precise something...
HP-UX is a big Endian System
TRU-64 is a little Endian System...

Thanks

Smilie

       The number of registered functions should not exceed as specified in

       When necessary, or (see crt0(3) and dld.sl(5) for PA-RISC systems or dld.so(5) for Itanium-based systems) registers one or  more  functions
       with to allow some processing at normal program termination.  This registration occurs before any other.

RETURN VALUE

       returns zero if the registration is successful; non-zero if unsuccessful.
