[evla-sw-discuss] BigEndian flaw in the BDFReader

[Wayne Koski]

Kevin:

Just so you and others know, as a person in the basement who used CP/M, 
DOS, and Windows:

I don't care about how a given processor architecture stores data.  I 
just work with said processor architecture and developed OS's, so I do 
things correctly when I store, manipulate, or transfer data.

Little, Big, or Bi-endian is something you just deal with.  Nothing to 
defend or really to argue about IMHO.
