I was hacking up a program to convert Sun Rasterfiles to GIF files when
I ran into a little problem.  Almost all the non-Intel world (or so I'm
told) writes ints MSByte first, whereas Borland's TC++ is
reading/writing ints/longs (I need longs, since I'm working with 32bit
ints from the Sun) LSByte first.

My Question is, is there a way to reverse the order, quickly or cleanly?
I could read in each char at a time and OR it onto the long and SHL all
4 on, but that seems kinda sloppy to me.  I would think that the is a
flag that can be set, or at least a built in macro...

Any ideas?
