Cerealed has more features than this as well. I'd struggle to
write code as short as I did when using it to implement

the system here, how would that work?
I don't know what you mean bytes by themselves don't have an
endianness, do they?
I thought is was only anything that was larger than a byte had
endianness
Yes. And sometimes mixed endianess depending on the
architecture. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that it'd be
hard to send the bytes over the wire with this.
Atila
if you mean bit numbering then it dosen't matter because its
managed by the
hardware anyway

but just to be sure i'll do some tests
