Re: how to get data from palm?

[Henk Jonas]

because the conversion from big endian to little endian only depends on the size of the datatype, you can treat float like dword and double like any 64-bit datatype. The goal is always the same:
take the highest byte and exchange it with the lowest byte
and so on until you reach the middle of the datatype.

That's it,
Henk
