As the heading says, I am trying te get our nn news reader to read a news 
volume NFS mounted from a Sun server.  I can NFS mount the drive OK but the 
message "Database magic number mismatch" is displayed when I try nn.  I assume 
this is because the Sun and PC have different endian?  Does anyone know if nn 
can be compiled to get around this problem??

Cheers and thanks,
                  Russell Noble.
