I am having a problem using GNAT.socket with streams. I can create a
stream easily and send data as follows:

Msg_Type'Write(
   My_Stream_Access,
   Msg);

This will work fine of both machines are the same "endian". However, if
I need to swap bytes on the variable Msg before I send, I get garbled
data on the other end.

Is there a problem with swapping bytes before the call to 'Write?

Thanks
