- We are migrating from Amdahl UTS to an NCR 3550 (80486 based).
- We have a bunch of binary files that were created on UTS. The binary files
- were created by writing out C structures which contain integer, character,
- and float members. We do not have the ability to recreate these files
- directly on the NCR. I am looking for a conversion program that I can
- run on these files to make them compatible on the NCR. The program would
- need to know how to deal with the reverse byte ordering, padding, etc.

- Thanks
