A problem arises when transfering data from a word addressed
computer like the A3000 to a byte addressed computer (eg a
UNIX box). That is, when the 24 bit word is split into bytes, which
byte is sent first?
Does anyone out there know if there are byte order differences
in the resulting UNIX file when an A3000 file is transfered to
a UNIX computer by different methods?
ie. Does a Bruknet transfer produce a different byte order
than, say, a Kermit transfer? Do versions of bruknet
running on big endian machines like a Sun or SGI result in
the same byte order as bruknet on the little endian X32?
Thanks in advance for any help!
