I thinh, Louis wants to know how the two bytes will be understood as a word.
Louis experiment with that:
type TBytesOrWord = record
case integer of
0 : (b: array[0..2] of byte);
1 : (w: word);
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
ba : TBytesOrWord;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Memo1.Clear;
ba.b[0] := 107;
ba.b[1] := 0;
Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('%d %d',[ba.b[0],ba.b[1]]));
Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('%d',[ba.w]));
end;
(It returns:
107 0
107
in other words(ha!) the lower byte is recorded first in a word. Try the other
way...
)

The byte order of an array of bytes is exactly what it says it is.
Element 0 comes before element 1 comes before element 2, etc.
It's only when your element size is larger than one byte that the byte
order matters.
