Yes, I said I thought the Alpha was big endian and I was mistaken.
Given that it is essentially the successor to the VAX, I should have
known better.

Bhaskar has been quiet because he was on vacation for two weeks, and has
been catching up with his e-mail since his return on Monday morning,
August 22. Since his return and diligent attempt to get through things
that accumulated in his absence, the number of unread e-mail messages in
his Inbox ha

I'm fairly certain the Alpha is big endian. In fact, I think pretty
much everything except Intel is big endian.

I certainly intend to stay with OS X as long as it's practical to do
so, and I know that there is a contingent of clinicians out there
that would very much prefer to not give up their Macs.
I'd like to request a separately mailing list for us Mac fanatics so
that we don't bore the snot out

Actually, I think you may be confusing a couple of issues here (or
maybe not). A 64-bit platform operates on data in 64-bit "chunks" at
the instruction set level. When you load a value from main memory
into a register, it is a 64-bit value that you load. When you add two
integers, it is 64-
ugghh, I didn't know the other thread was talking

millions of patients worth of data file to convert from

yes, i think so. I liked big-endian better because my
Fortran code never had to see Intel chip. Later I had to
write some apps to convert big-endian data (Irix) to be read
in little-endian supercomputer.

I don't recall if the Data General or IBM 360/370 machines were
big endian. MUMPS has run on so many machines that I feel confident
that it has run on as many variations of computers as you wish.

Is MUMPS + VistA used on any other big endian machine?

I believe the issue was related to compiler specific "optimizations" in
the C implementation of the M compiler. Bhaskar's been quiet lately but
we've discussed this on the list before. I was interested because I
simply love my MAC.
