- I am looking at MicroSoft Word's 4.0 Binary File Spec for the macintosh.
- In it they talk about 4 byte integers: if I print one of these 4 byte integers
- it looks like ( in decimal ): 32 32 32 1
- I can translate this to binary, no problem, but have two questions:
- 1. what coding is being used, ie. BCD or 2's complement or unsigned
- integer?
- 2. what order are these bytes, most significant byte on left?
- Anyone with knowledge of Word Binary File format out there?
- Thanks Ahead,
