It seems pretty clear to me what's happening is what lajos previously
stated. But the more I tried to articulate that, the less sense it made.
Anyway, on my two machines,
Linux little endian:
------------------
IDL> tmp = bytarr(20)
tmp = bytarr(20)
IDL> tmp[15] = 5
tmp[15] = 5
IDL> print, fix(tmp[15]), fix(tmp,15)
print, fix(tmp[15]), fix(tmp,15)
5 5
On a Big Endian IRIX64 machine
----------------------------
IDL> tmp=bytarr(20)
IDL> tmp[15] = 5
IDL> print, fix(tmp[15]), fix(tmp,15)
5 1280
I don't even know if this helps.
