Umm, not at all. And I had thought they were B-E, or bisexual, like PPC. No, more a frustration that something like this could show up at this stage of the game (presumably stable app that's been around for a loooong time). If it's not endianness, then alignment, maybe? Only alpha I have access to runs VMS (urghh), not BSD. I might be able to look at it there, if you think its worth it. -- Alan Eldridge Pmmfmffmmfmp mmmpppppffmpmfpmpppff $PffMmmPppMpmPpfPpm mfpmmmmmfpmpmpppff.
