Per the responses on the debian-ia64 list, I believe PA-RISC uses the IEEE big-endian format. BTW, you'll have fun by the time you get to ARM. It uses the IEEE format, except it has the word order reversed. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
