: I ran into a similar problem. The cause is that the Sparc is
: little-bit-endian; it stores the least significant bit in the highest
: numbered bit slot.
: This is how I solved the problem in a (so far) portable way:
I remember Norman H. Cohen has written an essay about the endian
/portability problem somewhere in AdaLetters(?).
