there's also the problem that there are more than two orderings possible, for example for 4 byte types the byte ordering could be any of:
1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 2 1 4 3 3 4 1 2
Really? I only knew of machines with 2 orderings. What machines use the others?
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness> says that the PDP machines used 3 4 1 2. -- Darin
