[Vis5d-users] Re: foo_to_v5d.c on Linux

Dear Chris,
	the first idea that comes to my mind is you could have forgotten
the assignment CFLAGS = -DLITTLE in the makefile for compiling c sources,
since Intel-like machines have "little endian" byte ordering, as opposed
to SGI; you could also verify this with the command
 od -a <myfile.v5d>|more
if the first bytes on the file are something like " D5V" instead of "V5D ",
that's the problem.
	I hope this helps,
		Davide
