Huh? Ever since the original ARPAnet network data (possibly except Microsoft) has been in BIGendian format. See for example http://www.ietf.org/rfc/ien/ien137.txt for details. It's easy to get the impression the native numeric order of the Intel chip is "correct"; more likely it's a horrid hack inherited from the micro world via the Z80. thanks! -Chuck Kollars ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
