Well, it is the problem. However, I have Linux on SUN Box as well.
The DEC Alpha compiler can compile Fortran programs with option "convert".
This
option define "open" statement and format of the files.
Unfortunately, g77 does not support this option. Am I right?

Are you talking about the endianness being different between Intel x86
and SPARC architectures?

Search Google for "endianness" or maybe "byte swapping".

The following link refers to graphics files, but the situation is the
same with any binary data:
