[MINC-users] Intel mac Display-1.4.2 not loading binary .surface obj files

[Jason Lerch]

The binary versions of obj files are endian dependent - so if they were 
created on a different endian machine (say a MIPS processor IRIX machine 
creates them and then a i386 linux box tries to read them) you'll get 
that error. Convert the files to ascii (using ascii_binary) on the 
machine that created the surfaces and you'll be all set.
