writing binary file for different platform

[Marcus Stojek]

Hi,
I have to write a binary file that will be read by a FORTRAN routine.
This is no problem if writing the file and reading with FORTRAN is
done on the same platform (Windows im my case).

Now I have to prepare such a binary file on my Win system that will
be read on an IBM machine (IBM AIX 4.3.3.25)

>From the doc I guess that I have to add a character to the format
string (e.g. '<' or '>' ). If this is correct then please could
someone tell me which one. If not then what else can i do ?

Thanks in advance,
Marcus
