Hi!
I wonder if there is any package in Squeak that would en/de-code standard C types to a byte-array, as the RFC 1014 - XDR: eXtrenal Data Representation standard does. I'm currently working on a client program to Player/Stage and it would save me a lot of work, as the communication is done via TCP packages. I know ByteArray can do byte, short, long and even double, but is it XDR compatible? Also, is there an equivalent of the C function gettimeofday(), that would return me a double, or something, that I can put into a ByteArray with doubleAt:put:bigEndian:?
Cheers,
Elod
