I did check out the first website. However I found the endian preprocessor macro
confusing. To be honest. I was never trained in plain C, only C++.

I used the VC++ toolkit MS put out in 2003. Anybody know any free C compilers
where this might work for an intel Machine?

Which Preprocessor Macro on the Paul Bourkes page should I be using?
