I'm really surprised that none of the Arpanauts in these newsgroups have posted a copy of IEN 134 by Danny Cohen of USC-ISI. It's an Internet Experiment Note entitled "On Holy Wars and a Plea for Peace" and concerns bit ordering issues throughout computerdom. It's the best explanation of the problem (including the evolution of PDP-11 and Vax byte ordering botches) I've seen anywhere. Does someone have a machine readable copy somewhere? If so, MAIL IT TO ME and I will post exactly one copy (!). John Gilmore, sun!gnu@Berkeley.arpa

Sometime in Jan. I believe. Anyway, I'll send you a copy of it separatly. Only post it, however, if there is enough demand since it is over 35k characters long and since it was already posted. -- Brad Brahms usenet: {decvax,ucbvax}!trwrb!trwspp!brahms arpa: Brahms@USC-ECLC
