I managed to swing it using stream I/O attributes between NT/Gnat and
GreenHills/vxWorks. I had to examine the output of one with a hex editor
and modify what was done explicitly to match on both platforms. In this
effort I was helped by the fact that both architectures were the same
(PC). If I had to swap bytes on multibyte objects it would have been a
real pain.
This kind of thing is *not* easily extensible and obviously can't claim
any kind of portability.
