Hey, this is info-performer :-)
Surely you have loader source?

E&S == Evans and Sutherland, ie extensions specific to E&S image
generator capabilities which your file parser doesn't recognise or
utilise.

endianness is the byte ordering of binary records which varies across
platforms due to design differences.
ie if I write a binary integer on a PC and read it as a binary integer
on an SGI the high order byte on the PC would end up in the low order
byte space on the SGI, etc, due to the respective assumptions that the
record ordering on the disk matches the native memory system.

Cheers,Angus.
