This, of course, is because `od -x' regards the input as 16-bit integers. We can get saner output if we regard it is 8-bit integers.

Yes, of course. The point was that for big-endian, the word size won't matter. Little-endian words will be reversed with respect to the normal (left-to-right, most significant first) way we print numbers.

Right. Because we print numbers backwards. -- Aaron Denney -><-
