Structs are formatted in a machine-dependent and compiler-dependent way.  You
absolutely need to set up routines to break apart and form the struct by
hand.  You know, like:

	  sprintf(Buf, "%5.3f:%5.3f:%5.3f\n", A->X, A->Y, A->Z);
          SendBytes(Buf);

and whatever the corresponding sscanf and "RecvBytes" statements are.
