Big_endian binary file conversion with efc....?

Hello,

I've seen that the environment variable F_UFMTENDIAN works fine with ifc/IA-32 systems for run-time conversion of big_endian binary files.

However, it doesn't work with efc/IA-64 systems. In fact, it garbles the reading of all binary input files - big or little_endian!

Does anyone know of a workaround? Will there be a working F_UFMTENDIAN analogue for Itanium-2?

Thanks!

Hello again,

Just tried F_UFMTENDIAN again on my Itanium2, and now it works as advertised!

So my problems earlier must be attributed to user error. I must have screwed up, and I must be going senile too because my test is really simple...

Apologies for raising a false alarm.

I'm glad it's working for you now, and that we don't have a bug to fix here!
