Last stream problem: byte order

[Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>]

Now my stream application almost works. The last remaining problem seems to 
be byte order. The server is programmed in C++ with Qt and the client is 
programmed in Ada with adasockets-1.0. The last thing I did was to change the 
byte order in the server 
("the_stream.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);"). After that the 
numbers came out right at the other end.

However, this may not be a safe solution. The safe way would probably be to 
always have the network communication in BigEndian format and make sure the 
client always obeys this, regardless of the platform.

So how does one set the byte order to BigEndian on the Ada side? Or is there 
a different, better idea?
