The DECstation 3100 is "little endian"; i.e. it has the same byte order as
a VAX or an Intel processor (IBM PC).

Note that floating point is IEEE, however.

-EL is the default on the DECstation.

TeX runs just fine on the DECstation.  It is available from U. Washington, as
usual.  TeX in C was one of the early programs run as a benchmark.
