Actually I think I figured it out....in case anyone else out there is wondering - if you have a c-style char array holding your hex value, it will be automatically converted to the host endianess when type casting into an integer. So then the bytes have to be reconverted again (network to host) before used. This was a little bit hard to see at first but now it seems to make sense. ex:
unsigned char your_bytes[4] = 43BE1959; unsigned long your_integer = (unsigned long) your_bytes; //this will give 2.70467 E15 which is at first unintuitive, but if you consider that when casting a char to an int your getting an endianness change it makes sense so instead unsigned long you_integer = ntoh ((unsigned long) your_bytes); //this will then give the true value of 380.19 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
