When I installed the 2.2 version of USENET elm on our Sun 3s, Sun 4s, and
386i's there was a problem with the 386i not correctly reading the 'compiled'
version of alias files produced by the 3s and 4s and vice versa.  (The 3s and
4s produced files were interchangeable.)  I *assume* this is due to
byte-ordering differences (or padding, perhaps?).  Has this been fixed?

	Thanks,
