[rare] Said of
hardware, denotes willingness to compute or pass data in either
big-endian or little-endian format (depending,
presumably, on a mode bit somewhere). See also NUXI problem
middle-endian adj.
Not big-endian or
little-endian. Used of perverse byte orders such as 3-4-1-2
or 2-1-4-3, occasionally found in the packed-decimal formats of
minicomputer manufacturers who shall remain nameless....
