little endian vs big endian

Started by rhina1999 June 3, 2004
I just downloaded the new version of the compiler (8.51) and it has
changed the way the memory get represented, before in 8.01 was
reading it as little endian and now it is big endian.
ANy body has seen this before?

To the best of my knowledge, we have not changed the representation of
numbers in memory from little endian to big endian. What are you looking
at that makes you think there's been a change? (In DC 8.51, we did fix an
"off-by-one" data placement bug that effectively moved all data "up" by one
byte within the data org. For most, the only effect of this fix is to
actually use what was previously a wasted byte at the top of the data org.)
