I'm really surprised that none of the Arpanauts in these newsgroups have
posted a copy of IEN 134 by Danny Cohen of USC-ISI.  It's an Internet
Experiment Note entitled "On Holy Wars and a Plea for Peace" and concerns
bit ordering issues throughout computerdom.  It's the best explanation
of the problem (including the evolution of PDP-11 and Vax byte ordering
botches) I've seen anywhere.

Does someone have a machine readable copy somewhere?
If so, MAIL IT TO ME and I will post exactly one copy (!).
