Thanks for your reply Rick. Here is the output of running the 'print,
!Version' on the two workstations.

- Workstation on which LONG reads 4 bytes
WAVE> print, '!Version
{ sparc solaris 8.50 sun4}

- Workstation on which LONG reads 8 bytes
WAVE> print, "!Version"
{ sparc solaris64 8.51 b sun4}

Any ideas on how to change the PV-Wave configuration to run the 64-bit
version?

Thanks,
Subir
