The info on the byteorder of the Axp was LOWTOHIGH.
Thanks for those who responded and please forgive if I left your
name out:
Chris Mattingly Chris_Mattingly_at_eos.ncsu.edu
Nick Riley nick_at_alldata.com
And then to Steven Jenkins who gave the following '.C' program:
sjenkins_at_iastate.edu>
Here is a quick C program to find out:
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
union { char c[4];int i;} sample;
sample.c[0] = 0x1;
sample.c[1] = 0x2;
sample.c[2] = 0x3;
sample.c[3] = 0x4;
printf("%x\n", sample.i);
}
If it prints out something like 4030201, then it's big to little,
if it prints out 01020304 it's little to big. For what it's
worth, Alphas are big-to-little.
Now I did this and got 4030201, does that mean big-to-little is
LOWTOHIGH or HIGHTOLOW?? A majority of my responses says LOWTOHIGH.
Since I'm still having trouble getting proper results to my '.C'
programs I still can't tell.
Thanks for all the help.
