Thanks for the tests Dar, that was not my major fear, what I really
fear is that the sales of PPC machines will drop so much out of FUD
that apple will have a hard time...
I think I am afraid of their profits sinking and things going all like
armagedon...

We can stop making those assumptions right now.
Untested...
function platformIsBigEndian
return (char 1 of binaryEncode("I",1)) is null
end platformIsBigEndian
Note that some processors, maybe not that Rev is on, use a "middle
endian" mixed approach for 32-bit integers.
Presumably, this will match the unicode (UTF16) order used by
Revolution, but if you are paranoid you can make a similar test using
numTochar():
-- just keyed into the mail
-- This assume unicode is some form of UTF16
function unicodeIsUTF16BE
set the useUnicode to true
return (char 1 of numToChar(1)) is null
end unicodeIsUTF16BE
