#120008 - little endian (just to add some confusion:)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
IMHO, the '51 convention is big endian

While I agree that most tools are using big-endian there is a slight advantage for little-endian:

Try adding/subtracting a big-endian long variable in xdata memory to a big-endian long variable in data memory.
Then compare to the code needed for little-endian variables:)

Intel's complete confusion plan

:) Yes it's amazing that big-endian tools could establish right before the (otherwise heavily biased towards little endian) eyes of Intel.
