Hi Ingo

You can try this:

#version 3.7;

#declare AnInteger = 4091728320; // 0xf3e2d1c0

#declare R = AnInteger;
#declare Byte_0 = mod(R, 256);
#declare R = div(R, 256);
#declare Byte_1 = mod(R, 256);
#declare R = div(R, 256);
#declare Byte_2 = mod(R, 256);
#declare R = div(R, 256);
#declare Byte_3 = mod(R, 256);

#fopen SomeFile "LitteEndian.bin" write
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_0)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_1)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_2)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_3)
#fclose SomeFile

#fopen SomeFile "BigEndian.bin" write
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_3)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_2)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_1)
#write (SomeFile, uint8 Byte_0)
#fclose SomeFile

#error "Finished"

You can upload the resulting files to this web page: https://hexed.it
- and then inspect the results as both big endian and little endian integeres.
