Hi Gerard,

interesting stuff that you are doing here. The byte order problem you
are having should be easy to resolve. The Papyrus code uses the lowest
level of the byte order interface. You should change it over to the byte
order functions exported by Foundation, these are also implemented in
GNUstep base and therefore easily portable. Have a look at the file
NSByteOrder.h and replace OSSwapBigToHostInt64 with
NSSwapBigLongLongToHost and so on.
You could of course also rebuild this functionality based on the Linux
header you already found, but this is surely more trouble.

Hope this helps
Fred
