Hello,

Any ideas on how, in C++,  I might be able to write big-endian numbers
(2-byte ints in this case) to a binary file when I'm on a machine that uses
little-endian format?

Might there be a special way to open the output file so that numbers are
written as big-endian?

Thanks in advance,


Greg
