Package: acon
Version: 1.0.5-7
Severity: important
Hello,
acon currently reads/writes /dev/vcsa character-per-character. That
does not work on bigendian archs, see the update vcsa(4) manpage. acon
should use unsigned shorts to have endian-agnostic behavior.

Now I know someone out there is going to claim, "Well then, UNIX is intuitive,
because you only need to learn 5000 commands, and then everything else follows
from that! Har har har!"
(Andy Bates in comp.os.linux.misc, on "intuitive interfaces", slightly
defending Macs.)
