When passing a byte stream over tcp/ip sockets we are receiving a byte
array of 2 byte signed "C" integers. Is there a way to convert them to
Java short without byte swapping and bit twidling? I see
DataInputStream has readUnsignedShort() but this won't handle signed
integers?

What happens when we get to floats,doubles etc with regard to negative
numbers?

Thanks
