For the others on the list (I think we've discussed the thing private until
now): after I discovered that
(ByteArray new: 50)
integerAt: 1
put: 7
size: 4
signed: false
depends on libffi, and that seems to be the platform dependent part - *and* Ma
Client Server uses this to read from network (as far as I understood), I
wondered if this could raise problems when used with mixed high/ low endian
machines in a network. But I'm not an endian expert :-)
Could someone who is firm with endianess look at it, or start the tests coming
with the latest Ma Client Server package on SqueakMap with different endian
machines?
Regards, Markus
