See, the int is stored as 00 00 00 0a on 'Pux and 00 0a 00 00 on Linux. Similarly, the floats have their byte pairs the other way around. The byte order of the architectures differ. So what you can do is store the data in a format which is independent of the machine's native byte order. Google for "network byte order" if you really don't think a textual format would be better (and when you eventually realize it would have been better after all, come back here so we can say "told you so", smirk).

NAME
mmroff - cross reference preprocessor SYNOPSIS
mmroff [ -x ] groff_arguments DESCRIPTION
mmroff is a simple preprocessor for groff, it is used for expanding cross references in mm, see groff_mm(7). groff is executed twice, first with -z and -rRef=1 to collect all cross references and then to do the real processing when the cross reference file is up to date. -x Just create the cross reference file. This can be used to refresh the cross reference file, it isn't always needed to have accurate cross references and by using this option groff will only be run once. AUTHOR
