"render" has different behavior on different machines. WHY?
After rendering, I notice the following:
- on Machine #1 (Windows XP, Dual Core CPU, 2 GB RAM): each frame file (.iff) is approximately 7.6 MB
- on Machine #2 (Windows Server 2003, 2 x dual core CPU, 2GB RAM): each frame file (.iff) is approximately 5.8 MB
Why am I getting different .iff file sizes between the two machines although I am using the same "render" command line and the same model of course?
Isn't "render" platfrom independent? Is there a way to make it platform independent?
Thx a lot

the file size is determined by the amount of information in the image... color changes per line, things like that.
Accept no substitutions.

render -s 0.0000 -e 2400.0000 ...
I am using the same model.mb file, using the same rendering camera, and I am comparing files with the same frame numbers generated on the two machines.
Additional note: if I use "FCheck" to visualize those two frames, I CANNOT see any visible difference between them.
Q: again why one file is 2MB larger?
