Reply-to: madhu@hubcap.UUCP (Raman Madhusudan) Greetings: Where do I find endian.h ( we run ULTRIX on a VAX-8810). (No it is not under /usr/include/machine, yes I am trying to get BIND to run). Totally clueless, will wash your car if you are passing through this area (Clemson SC). Please reply to: madhu@hubcap.clemson.edu (on the Internet). --thanks.

Reply-to: marc@okeeffe.Berkeley.EDU (Marc Teitelbaum) It's in stock 4.3BSD, i think (i don't have a pristine copy of 4.3 to tell from right now). There was a point where we had ENDIAN defined as either BIG or LITTLE, and the code looked like #if ENDIAN == BIG ... but that went away, and now it's BYTE_ORDER defined as either BIG_ENDIAN or LITTLE_ENDIAN (or pdp, the crooked endian...). I'll append our current endian.h for the vax.
