  13. In a previous article, mab22@po.CWRU.Edu (Michael A. Balfour) says:
  14.  
  15. >static unsigned short int nativeIntTest=0x0001;
  16. >static char *nativeIntTest2=(char *)&nativeIntTest;
  17. >#define NativeByteOrder() ((nativeIntTest2[0]==0x00) ? LITTLE_ENDIAN : BIG_ENDIAN)

  21. implementations as opposed to my mistakes.  :)
