[GRASSLIST:6254] Big Endian Binary Dig Files?

GRASS Users:

Although I remember discussions a while back when it was decided to make
Binary Dig Files Portable between Platforms, what I do NOT remember is
whether there are any procedures for converting pre-existing Dig Files???
Although I am unsure of which version of GRASS we were using at the time,
these existing files are dated 1990 and where generated on a Sun SPARC
Station (Big Endian), which I am now trying to access under Intel Linux
(Little Endian). Pointers on how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated!!!

Usage:
  v.convert input=name output=name [endian=name]

Parameters:
    input input vector map
   output Name of output vector
   endian endian of input vector map
            options: big,little
            default: big

But I am not sure if I ever got a big endian file to test.
