1 is inefficient when moving data between little-endian platforms 2 is inefficient when moving data between big-endian platforms So 3 should be most efficient. Is there an easy way of storing an endianness-flag in an archive?
The version currently in the package does that now for integer types. Note, you could store floating points as a pair of integers using the facilties already in portable binary archive. This would have the side benefit of making the archives signifcantly smaller. Robert Ramey
