I used to have an usb cd drive, but nowadays plan9 is the only thing I
have which fits on one cd and thus I stopped using this medium.

thanks, I'll study it with care.

Uh, thanks for the reply.
Now that I think about it endianness was the obvious reason behind this.

no. xd is correct. if you're running on an intel,
you're running on a little-endian machine which
means that numbers are stored in the reverse order

I have an xd(1) question. Am I wrong or xd gets the byte ordering wrong?
1. While working on native plan 9 I always got the opposite byte
ordering from what I expected.
2. xd output from p9p shows exactly the opposite byte ordering that
hexdump output.
Perhaps there's something wrong with xd.

Hello Hugo,
Done some experiments with the indivudual
bits in Lunix, and would be very surprised
if it is not handled the same under Plan 9,
given the same hardware architecture.
The exponent is stored in base 2, but What
might be a bit confusing, is that it is not
stored using two's complement,
Hi,
I am learning a bit about floating point representation and I am
wondering about how plan 9 does this.
According to IEEE 754 (I think) the convention used by C for single
precision floating point numbers is to use 24 of the 32 bits available
for the significand and 8 bits for the exponent. It s
