<<You may also run into big endian/little endian problems. If performance
is not a problem, passing the data in text representation will always
work and be portable.>>
Another possibility is to use a target independent implementation of
Stream_IO, such as is provided with GLADE (the GNAT implementation of
the distributed annex PCS). GLADE uses XDR for stream representation,
which avoids any endian (or other target dependent) problems.
