As relatively new to GNU C and using a SUN workstation, I have 2 quick
questions.
1) I received a response concerning a question concerning the binary
representation of data on a SUN vs. a PC.  I lost that address, could
that person or another please send me a short code on how to use
swab() to change data from little-endian to big-endian... I am not
having much luck finding useful docs concerning this function.

2) I thought I remember seeing a mention that GNU C can handle dynamic
array allocation.  I realize that this is easily mimicked using
malloc(), etc.. but is this a truth or fantasy?  If it exists, what
are the limitations?

Sorry if this is a FAQ - but if a FAQ exists for this group, can
someone please point me to it?!?!?!
Cheers
