Hi Sam,
(Saturday April 26 1997 21:35) Sam Izzo to Joe Koss about: scrolling
 >> What is LSB?
 JK>> Least Significant Byte
 SI> Least Significant Bit
These are both right! If we're talking about a single byte, then LSB is the 
Least Significant Bit. However, if we're talking about a word, double-word or 
even more than that, then LSB is Least Significant Byte.
 >> And MSB?
 JK>> Most Significant Byte
 SI> Most Significant Bit
Analogous to the above, also these two are both correct.
This may become confusing, if we want to seperate the least Significant bit 
of a 16-bit word, for example. Therefor I would suggest, that we all start 
using
LSBit/MSBit or LSByte/MSByte from now on ;-)))
