Hi. We've been running notes on our Pyramid 90X for about three years now. I'm not sure what version we have except that Rich Salz came in about a year ago to tune things up. Anyhow, since then we have added a few dozen suns to our NFS. It would be great if we could use the Pyramid as the noteserver and compile a sun binary to just read and write notes. (This would eliminate the need to rlogin to the Pyramid). I started looking into this and immediately ran into the fact that the Pyramid pads its structs differently than the sun (on longword bounds). Things like when_f and thus resp_f have different sizes on the two machines. A gut reaction would be to pad the suns structs to allign with the Pyramid's. I thought I would post before I waste lots of time. Has anyone else done this or know a better solution? Thanks in advance. Shep Siegel Datacube Inc. DSP Products Group 4 Dearborn Rd.
