actually that is a bit deeper than ntohl(), htonl(),... data are stored in 
application-specific compressed format with a built-in data dictionary for 
encoding and decoding.  Data files are shared (via SAN) among multiple machines 
(mix of Lintel/LinAMD and Sun), so the endian issue needs to be considered from 
day  one.
