This brings up another good point. One of the little things
that pops out of the wood work to bite is the PC "big indian
little indian" problem. When you write a binary file on
a UNIX machine you get:
ABCD
If you read that file back on a PC you get:
DCBA
Would be nice to have a "binary" switch that could automatically
convert.
