Doesn't GNAT translate formats through XDR as an intermediary? You
don't have to use the DSA, but you could see if there's any GNAT source
that you could make use of.
Source for GNAT is at NYU FTP site.

Hello.
I need a package which redefines the (un)marshalling into
streams for elementary types, so that stream contents can be
transmitted between heterogeneous machines. An XDR representation
should be ideal. Where can I find a free code for this?
NOTE: I don't want to use any Distributed Annex stuff.
Thanks in advance.

In GNAT, the formats used for elementary types are
determined by the unit System.Stream_Attributes. Simply
replace this unit to provide an alternative format.
If you get the GLADE sources, you will find an XDR version
of this unit that you can use.
