Greetings!
The output of 'od -x filename' appears to be reversed
character-by-character.
Let's say file 'junk' cpontains '121212'.
In HP/UX 'od -x junk' yields 3132 3132 3132
In cygwin it yields 3231 3231 3231
Any ideas?
cygcheck.out is attached.
System is a recent beta (about 2 months old) on Windows 98.
Thanks very much.

Good! That means it's working correctly. If you have any further
questions, please feel free to ask.

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ien/ien-137.txt.3 ("On Holy Wars and a
Plea for Peace") has an amusing and authoritative discussion of this
issue. It ranks right up there with nl vs. CRLF and particle vs. wave.

No problem:
As your od output proves, HP-PA is big-endian while ix86 is little-endian
:-)
If you ask od to dump by bytes, (od -b) you'll get the same result in both
cases.

Is the HP/UX machine big-endian or little-endian? Rather, what type of
processor does it have?

Greetings!
The output of 'od -x filename' appears to be reversed
character-by-character.
Let's say file 'junk' cpontains '121212'.
In HP/UX 'od -x junk' yields 3132 3132 3132
In cygwin it yields 3231 3231 3231
Any ideas?
cygcheck.out is attached.

Thanks very much.
