I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'd like to be able to convert integers to and from byte arrays in native machine byte ordering, without resorting to a new primitive.
1) Does Squeak know the byte order convention of the hardware it's running on? I can't find any method to query for this.
2) Class ByteArray knows how to convert itself into integers, given that you can tell it the answer to question 1. Is there any existing method for converting an integer into a four byte array?
Thanks.
