Hi,
We are using 4swap to convert some data from a Varian Inova system (Solaris) to Linux (Intel, running Linux 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise, i686). We are byte-swapping a floating point dataset, an mdeft3d (high-res T1 weighted).
I notice different behavior when we use 4swap in the command line vs. through the to3d GUI (AFNI. Version 2.55g of 21 Oct 2003 [[Precompiled binary linux_gcc32: Oct 27 2003]]). The GUI gives us occasional black specs distributed throughout the brain (I don't know about outside the brain) in the viewer as well as in the output dataset. Using the command line version of 4swap, these specs do not appear in either the viewer or output dataset.
