Yes, ABCD vs DCBA is the Big-Endian/Little-Endian issue.

Name one platform that uses ANYTHING other than ABCD or DCBA.
Until you can, you're merely mumbling about formats that
are theoretically possible, but which nobody in their right
mind would EVER try to implement (and if he did, he would be
fired on the spot for incompetance).

There is no such thing as "endian-neutral"
Every hardware platform manufactured in the last 20 years uses either
big-endian or little-endian notation.
Other storage formats, while *theoretically* possible, are not
actually implemented, for the obvious reason that such an
implementation suffers great handicaps while offering ZERO advantages.

Les. If the jpeg is thrown onto tape in little-endian format,
and the exact same bytestream is uploaded onto a big-endian machine,
the jpeg data will be all fucked up
the stream
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
as written by the little-endian machine
will be READ from tape by the big-endian machine
as the stream
DCBAHGFELKJIPONMTSRQXWVU
This will lead to unsatisfactory results, to say the least.

Armored cavalry? That went out with the Middle Ages. Besides, you

Knights? In the Napoleonic Era? May as well have lancers

I don't know ANSI basic, so I relied on what i do know:
VSBASIC as found on IBM System 370
Microsoft BASIC as found on Apple ][ and Apple ][+
Microsoft BASIC as found on Commodore 64
the code I wrote was valid syntax on all three platforms, (outside
of the stray left-paren ")" character).

Apparently compact, efficient code is abhorent in the land of

If you were capable of reading for comprehension, you would have realized
that I am not the one who designed that page (mentioned elsewhere in this

FreeBSD is not just a kernel. Linux is just a kernel. GNU is just an
organisation with a licence the purpose of which is to keep open source
software open sourced. GPLed software is not Linux (except for the kernel
of course). GPLed software may written for and compiled on many different
systems. I've even seen GPLed windows software. It's not FreeBSD's fault
if many open source developers for unix-like operating systems decide to
release their software with a GNU licence. And so what in any case, that's
not a problem.
