- Hi. I'm a graduate student doing research in computer music, and i
- have a small tech question I can't seem to get answered in the c
- reference books. What is the difference between big-endian and
- little-endian? I know it relates somehow to signed/unsigned integers,
- and the division between ibm & 68k-based platforms, but have no clue
- beyond that. Thanks.
