But why would knowing the machine's ordering matter, unless you are doing primitives? Maybe if you post a higher-level view of what you are trying to do, someone will have a more helpful response. I tend to like the fact that I don't have to think about endianness :)
In the application I am working on, there is an endianness flag <B,b> that is used to identify the nature of a subsequent binary stream. I have not gotten to code it yet, but when I do I will need know. Yes?
