I forgot to mention that the code excerpt I posted was meant for swapping
variables that are 4 bytes in size, e.g. floats and such.

You could just cast the address of the variable to a "char *" and swap
things around using pointer arithmetic or arrays. Here is

Hi!
Some of my programs have to work on big-endian and little-endian systems,
knowing what kind of system they are runing on (they are exchanging data
in binary format). To recognize the kind of the system I use the following
routine:
int TestByteOrder()
{
union
{
unsigned char c[2];
