It's not bytes at all; "od -x" defaults to reading 16-bit short integers, and outputs them in host-endian order. It's completely correct. "od -x" is the same as "od -x2" which is different from "od -x1" which is what the OP really wanted in the first place. Now, I'd certainly agree that short int is a strange default for od (as indeed is octal, which it defaults to if you don't specify a base explicitly); but it's not 'strange' and nothing is 'transposed', it's simply correct-albeit-unexpected behaviour. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
