Location: Tumwater, Wa                Ok, I'm having problems getting the 
Decimal value to Binary Little Endian.

I've tried memoryblocks, standing on my head, counting my toes, and no matter 
what I do, I can't get the Little endianness.

I've got a Text field; called "oct",  only allows numerical values, no greater 
than 255


I've got a method; that sets up the memoryblock at runtime:
dim octmem as memoryblock
octmem = newMemoryBlock(1)
octmem.LittleEndian = true

on a button action event:

i set the value of the Memoryblock octmem
MemoryBlocks.octmem = bin(oct.Text)


I've also tried, other variations, but no matter what I can't get the binary to 
be little endian.

unfortunalty, my brain works in Little endian, least significant bit first

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
0 1 0 1        
when I see binary as big endian, Immedialty I think its wrong,

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
        1 0 1 0

when both values are 10,


any help would be greatly apprechaited.

Thank you

Location: Portland, OR  USA                Endianness refers to byte order, not 
bits.  If you want to reverse the bits, you'll have to code that manually.
