Simon,

Because the byte order is different on x86 and ppc (I think!), there would
be a need to make some changes to mirupdate. Did you do this? Without the
change, miriad would probably mostly work - but the files produced would
not be usable by any other system, nor could you read/write FITS files
(not sure about RPFITS).

Best regards
Bob
