There are also long versions of these calls. These calls are also implemented to provide correct operations on hosts systems that are little- and big-endian; they're portable across platforms. If you have to do more of this (at the C layer), then you might consider using the xdr external data representation calls, too. And FWIW, going the other way (from knowing C to learning Objective C) can be "fun", too. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
