This document seems to have just been posted after copying the source (including javascript) from Zoronax's site. I am just fixing the raw tags into wiki formatting. This document should probably be revised to bring it more into the written style of other articles. --GE 03:15, 7 May 2005 (NZST)

Sorry I couldn't do it as soon as planned, I've had work. This will be done fully - sometime. --GE 03:23, 14 May 2005 (NZST)

Endianness

All references to byte ordering were backward. Little Endian (x86) byte ordering is what we would usually consider backward. The naming comes from whether the least (little) or most (big) significant value is comes first. It is sometimes easier to understand by looking at the concept with decimal numbers rather than hexadecimal. For example, a little endian version of the number 1,354 in decimal would be 4531. The least significant digit is in the left-most position. Big Endian (network) byte ordering would appear more naturally (to us) as 1354, with the least significant digit in the right-most position.
