I'm working on this problem now. We aren't using XDR or anything terribly slick but are taking care of alignment by writing out each structure member one at a time and taking care of byte ordering on the fly. I'm also including code to handle machines with 2 byte words, like the PC, as well as 4 byte. I plan to have a 368i, Decstation, sun2 and sun4 all sharing the same note files. I don't have much time to spend on it so I don't plan on having it available for another month or two. If you're interested in the source just drop me a line and I'll arrange to get it to you after I've finished. -- telesoft!npm@ucsd.edu Nancy P. Milligan
