NUXI problem

NUXI problem /nuk'see pro'bl*m/ n.  Refers to the problem
   of transferring data between machines with differing byte-order.
   The string `UNIX' might look like `NUXI' on a machine with a
   different `byte sex' (e.g., when transferring data from a
   {little-endian} to a {big-endian}, or vice-versa).  See also
   {middle-endian}, {swab}, and {bytesexual}.
