The original question was about file triggers. If you move files between systems that require fnuxi to be run on them then it will not work even if the triggers are removed. If you don't need to run fnuxi then they work fine.

It's purely an issue with byte-ordering of the systems. In fact, there's nothing to say that if you could run windows on a big-endian based architecture that you wouldn't have to run fnuxi when transferring files between Windows accounts. In fact, we had this issue years ago on some Unix platform, where the vendor (don't remember which one off hand) had two processor architectures, with different endian-ness. Some customers found it odd that transferring files amongst same "machines" caused them to have to run fnuxi. In reality, while they had the same Company logo, they weren't the same...

I've transferred type 30 files between three different machines - SCO, linux and Windows - and the files are *BINARY* *COMPATIBLE*. The thing is, they *all* run on x86 boxen. Most nix boxen are big-endian, all doze boxen are little-endian, hence the assumption it's a doze/nix thing. But it isn't - it's an endian thing. Some systems (SPARC?) can be either big or little endian, so you could find yourself having to run fnuxi to transfer files from a machine to itself, should you have a dual-boot system ...
