I didn't mean to imply that you need to check, just that it's likely to
not work (regardless of endianness) and you should be aware of that.

I'm trying to create a port of an application which only works on

Alpha is little-endian in practice. I've never heard of DEC--or
anybody else for that matter--building a big-endian a
Not true. Alpha is big- or little-endian (so, it's bi-endian), depending on
how it's booted, and IIRC the Windows NT version running on Alpha used the
big-endian mode of the CPU. But I might be mistaken.
i had SRM console used netbsd too later, too little endian.

the Windows NT days, which ran on Alpha workstations which were big-endian.
Alpha is little endian. i had alpha 21066 running linux.

FreeBSD endianness depends on the hardware architecture it runs on (as
endianness is a hardware characterization). (Very) generally, anything that's
related to an Intel CPU is littl

It
Endianness depends on the hardware.
In internal kernel structures endianness does not matter, if
communicating with other machines protocols (usually) define a
bitorder.
The c-library and/or systemlibrary contains utility functions for conversion.

I was just wondering if anyone was working on support for NeXT/Apple UFS
