Hi Kenneth

thanks for sending me the values. I never really dealt with big
endian. How would the bits are read? For instance, in my test code I
create this bit pattern:

1011 0110   0110 1101   1101 1011

On my my little endian system I get 011 for each value, since each
byte is read right to left. But how is it done with big endian?

Thanks,
Christian
