What is he best way to move data from QNX2 to QNX4, considering that some of this data is ASCII and some is binary?
|
| Solution |
To move this data there are couple of options:
- use qcp to transfer the files(i.e. /netdev/dev.net file to communicate over Arcnet)
- the textto utility on QNX will convert ASCII files between QNX2/QNX4/DOS format.
- copy files onto QNX4 drive (could do it with two different partitions)
For binary data, if conversion is needed, the best is to write your own tools (i.e.paying attention to the size of integer(16 vs.32 bits)). |
