Don,

The problem was that the IBM iSeries stores 32 bit values in the 
opposite order of the PC.  What I wound up with after a call to a 
program on the iSeries is 4 bytes returned to me in the opposite order.  
You can't use peek4s or peek4u on the memory since peek4s/u is expecting 
the bytes to be in the PC order.

Make sense?
