hi all,
              
               I had read about Little Endian and Big Endian byte 
ordering from some resources on the net.
               I had read that this doesnt affect char arrays and hence 
they can be used to overcome this problem.
               My question is
               char temp_char[2];
               unsigned short temp_short;
                
                Don't they finally end up to 2 bytes of physical memory 
? and so why is it that it doesnt affect
                char arrays . iam sure that i have missed something 
.Please throw some light on this one.

thank you.

cheers,
amith
