  Could someone send me (or post) a brief summary of the 
major issues in choosing Big or Little Endian byte ordering 
for an architecture?

  Alternatively, does anyone have a reference to an article 
which has a good discussion of this topic?

Thank you,
Bruce Irvin.                  (rbi@cs.wisc.edu)
