> See NetHToNL, NetHToNS -- they're already part of the Palm OS API, since > version 2.0. Hi Ben The question is how far we can rely on NetLib. Say, I am going to use my Palm for HotSync and IR, but not for networking, so I can re-program ROM to replace NetLib by BigClock or so :-) while all net-independent apps should be guaranteed to work. As far as I remember Linux moved htons etc from arpa headers, while actual implementation was never a part of a separate library (like winsock for Windows). This really makes sense: if I just want to read a Mac/Amiga file why should I require net support ? The same discipline should apply to PalmOS, where this is even more crucial. A simple solution: move NetHToNL to kernel and name it say HtoBE (leave name NetHToNL in NetLib as a shortcut for portability), have a macro: for m68k - do nothing, for ARM call HToBE.
