Allow me some time to find the appropriate resources, as it has
been over 10 years since i have used any assembly language, so
I forget most of the mnemonics.

As I said before, I haven't programmed in that worthless language in
over 17 years.
My two errors are one of syntax, which can be resolved in a few seconds.
Meanwhile, Drestin Adress, SOooooooooooper Genious, who claims to
program
every day, can't figure out how to properly reverse the byte-order in
an arbitrary-length unsigned integer.

Tell that to the Linux device driver writers . . . you really know

So, tell me, just how well does "Windo's" support PA-RISC, Tim? Since,

No, I haven't used Windows much. I have, however, spent a fair amount
of time fixing things for other people who DO use it, when things don't
work first time, flawlessly.
It isn't neccessary to be a user, in order to admin.
> It amazes UNIX users every time they see it. They say "Its not happonning!"
So, what kind of experiment are you running, Tim? Nobody can be that
stupid . . . nobody. It simply isn't possible to be that stupid, and
manage to figure out how to post to Usenet.
Hey, it's amusing, but what is the point?

Did you pull that out of your very own ass?
Or did you have to borrow it from your cell-mate?

Confirming my point that THE CONVERSION IS NECESSARY, and thus,
CONTRARY to the claims of Mr. Drestin Adresss, SOOOoooper Genius,
the Endian Conversion issues is a modern-day workplace issue which
must be considered by various people every day (not the exact
same set of people every day...but one which, every day, there
will be several people around the world who must address it,
and the next day, several other people around the world must
address it...etc, etc,).
