Collins, CO Lines: 9 When I installed the 2.2 version of USENET elm on our Sun 3s, Sun 4s, and 386i's there was a problem with the 386i not correctly reading the 'compiled' version of alias files produced by the 3s and 4s and vice versa. (The 3s and 4s produced files were interchangeable.) I *assume* this is due to byte-ordering differences (or padding, perhaps?). Has this been fixed?
