Myself, and probably everybody else in this newsgroup, is probably mad
at the idea of patenting the byte ordering, and more so in enforcing
such a patent.  Just to calm things down a little bit, there is lots of
Arpanet documentation from the early 70's demonstrating prior art.

What I would like to know is whether the Mark Williams Co, or somebody
on their behalf, has approached anybody out there.  If you are the one,
let me know.
