  little-endian
       
           A computer architecture in which, within
          a given 16- or 32-bit word, bytes at lower addresses have
          lower significance (the word is stored "little-end-first").
          The PDP-11 and VAX families of computers and Intel
          microprocessors and a lot of communications and networking
          hardware are little-endian.
       
          The term is sometimes used to describe the ordering of units
          other than bytes; most often, bits within a byte.
       
          Compare big-endian, middle-endian.  See NUXI problem.
