A very long time ago, I wrote stream classes for binary i/o that could
be told what byte-order the file should be -- the stream classes could
figure out what byte-order the cpu was using, and do byte-swapping as
necessary. That was in object-pascal and later in C++. If I had to do
binary i/o today, I would code up some similar classes.
