I am running X V11 R1 on a Sun workstation, and have run into a problem with XPutPixel and bitmaps. It looks to me as though _XPutPixel cannot work on 68000 (or other big-endian) architectures due to an assumption in the code that the address of a long int refers to its low order byte. This may also be true for other image types, I haven't checked the code (but I wouldn't be surprised). Has anyone else run into this problem and fixed it? (I can fix it myself, but I'm not sure what's the best way to make the fix portable (guess I'm not familiar enough with the internals of the package.)) Is there some way that the code "should know" what is the endedness of the machine it is running on? =Spencer (spencer@crim.eecs.umich.edu)
