Sean, time ago I wrote and used this routine to "read" a float on a PPC.
But, as I understand, it will never work to "write" the file.
Any idea?
float ConvertEndianf(float infloat)
{
#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN__
return infloat;
#else
union floatunion { unsigned char part[4]; float float_value; }
Converter;
char swap_char;
Converter.float_value = infloat;
swap_char = Converter.part[0];
Converter.part[0] = Converter.part[3];
Converter.part[3] = swap_char;
swap_char = Converter.part[1];
Converter.part[1] = Converter.part[2];
Converter.part[2] = swap_char;
return Converter.float_value;
#endif
}
