It's correct, David... my Unix platforms are Sun Solaris 2.6 (SPARC) and  IBM
AIX (PowerPC) ... both "big endian" systems. Full compatability between those
computers in any situation, and full compatability with NT (Intel) if "Document
Properties" is not used. I'm sorry but I am a poor coder and I cannot say more
about.

And it will be GREAT!
