Dennis,
I can tell you for certain the byte order of your system is opposite to that
of Intel boxes. Why are you uncertain of this? I had to swap everything to
send you the "pig" files... at least some of them, remember?
John

 Bill's  perl -V:bytorder

will give you 1234 on any Intel box. On yours, it won't.  :-)

John
