A simple but fully functional kludge to make lo compatible with Delphi is

Hello!
In order to address the endian problem I use some auxiliary types to access the
entities:
(* Standard types *)
type
t_32u=longint; // 32 bit unsigned
t_bool=boolean;
(* Endian types *)
(*$a1 *)
type
t_intel_32u=object // Delphi forbids "packed object"; trusting $a1 instead...
