I have to ask where you're getting 01 from now. I'd expect it to be 10 too.

She being littleendian.

Thanks for that. I couldn't remember which one was little endian and which one was big endian, so I didn't mention either

I can't keep track of it either (and I do NFS work!).  But that's why we have htonl() and ntohl()

[Chloe]

. . . why we have htonl() and ntohl()

LOL Just looked THAT up!!!!

Can tell your " big-endian" (right handed?) 'cause have it listed first ?

Ok Just copied Anna's 'sig code' into my RamAssembler, *achm* 'lil end first of course,
and got this:

0000: 0011        jmp   0013h
0002: 0001        jmp   0005h
0004: 0010        jmp   0016h
0006: 0111        jn    0019h
0008: 10          ?unk?
0009: 10          ?unk?
000A: 0001        jmp   000Dh
000C: 10          ?unk?
000D: 11          ?unk?
000E: 0111        jn    0021h
0010: 0011        jmp   0023h


  Meaning? plz explain !

I thought i might go into IT if the whole translator thing doesn't work out. Would have to learn a bit about hardware first though, i am pretty experienced when it comes to software. Thanks dad, at least you did something right.

Wow 01/10 problem still alive
In fact it's not little nor big endian. Endianess means byte order, not bit order. Endianess refers to how the bytes in multiple byte word are sorted in the memory.

2 byte word in hex: 0xABCD
Memory big end.:
0000: 0xAB
0001: 0xCD
Memory little end.:
0000: 0xCD
0001: 0xAB

Means it will go to reset at first jump intruction, since anything is at 0013? Iam guessing.

Ahh you are correct.

Yuk! Musta been from the Math dept!!! I was doing structured Cobal (business) on a DEC-20 and we had (woohoo) "line editors" !For Turbo Pascal we had . . . was it the Apple IIe ?

I'm afraid we might end up as exhibits in archaic technology museums someday.   

I will have my optic yellow Pickett sliderule in its holder, attached firmly to my belt.

I still got my Pickett 12" Model N 1010-ES  TRIG in its original black leather case with loop.  I used that in high school and in the Navy electronics schools.  My mom gave me a "Reduced priced" $39.95 four banger from Woolco shortly after that.  The scientific calculators came after that. 
  A fellow in Dispersing on board ship was a fast inputer.  The special calculator did have the early chip micro in it, but with a nixie tube output.  It was a slow calculator, but it had a very good buffer.  This fellow inputed the numbers and the signs so quickly that the display was showing his input, the answer, input, answer, etc. long after he was done with the keyboard!
