I'm glad to see that you've taken care of the endianness issue for 
integers.  It was clear that the person behind the post that started all 
this was just storing their data in native format, and I had to bite my 
tongue not to call him out on it in the thread.

You haven't covered the floating point case, though.  The little-known 
XDR standard can help here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1832.html  There 
should be some free XDR code out there you can kipe.

It'd also be nice if you could mass-convert the entire array at once.
