Hi, 1. What are the arguments for and against making a system Big or Small Endian? 2. Isn't Little Endianness somehow "counter-intuitive"? 3. Why are most(all?) RISCs designed to be (primarily) Big Endian? Any references/URLs on the Endianness issue would be welcome. Thanks in advance, --shail bains -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
