I currently am in the process of trying to move some of my codes from a Big-Endian Solaris system to a little-endian PC cluster running Linux. I would however like to continue to use the binary data files I was using on the Big-Endian system. In ifc, a Fortran compiler, there is an environment variable F_UFMTENDIAN which can be set such that all READ operations automatically perform a big-to-little conversion and all WRITE operations perform the little-to-big covnersion. Is there something similar which I can do with gcc or with options in the read/write or fread/fwrite functions? Mark Panning
