The word you are looking for is 'Big Endian'. Have a google on 'Big Endian'
and 'Little Endian' on google.
this is a delphi routine, it may not work in FPC, certainly I would try it
first in Delphi compatibility mode, and with Intel style assembler syntax:
function Swap32(value : dword) : dword ; assembler ;
asm bswap eax end ;
for words there is always 'swap' in the system unit.
