I haven't really tried running it on anything but i386 (I don't remember if I ever ran it on m68k, but I do remember it taking ages to compile). I would think it is an endian problem or similar, the program was originally an MS-DOS applictaion, and both 32-bit support and Linux ports were added later on, and it may very well be that the code assumes something to behave just like i386 does. Hopefully, someone on Debian-Sparc could help. Please Cc me on replies, I'm not on the list. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ I do not read or respond to mail with HTML attachments.
