Greetings,
   Thanks to everyone who answered my posting about VAX -> SGI format
 conversions. I have two more questions on a new topic, arenas.
   1. It seems that only eight processes can access an arena. I have run
several test and have not been able to get the ninth process to connect. Is 
there a way around this?
   2. I want to create an arena that two different users can access. Once again
I get a no go (Permission denied). I have tried changing the protection on 
the file and that doesn't work. Any ideas? I know this can create a security
problem for some applications.
   As always, any help is greatly appreciated.           
                                                                 Dave
