Endian Problem

these should be used for reading binary data when crossing platforms. If binary files are created on a little-endian platform, but are being read on a big-endian platform, then one should use "swap".

SizeOf Problem

Many older machines use 4 bytes for LONG. Newer 64 bit machines use 8 bytes for LONG = so this is a big problem.
