byte Selector Variable
......................

   The machine's byte ordering.  This is either `little', indicating
little-endian, or `big', indicating big-endian.  One possible use is to
share `rwho' databases (Note: rwho servers).  Another is to share
ndbm databases, however this use can be considered a courageous
juggling act.
