Hi Tim.  Since you mentioned you could not post to the list I hope you don't
mind that I have taken the liberty of posting it for you.  HP uses the
opposite byte order from SCO I assume that is big endian.  That is why the
swapcpu program was necessary.  This should come with your Sun version of
filepro.

Good Luck.
