Wikipedia is your friend, Kevin.

And UTF-8 strings used by Gambas are not endianness-dependent.

Anyway, I'm almost sure that you can decode messages with READ while you 
receive them, and store the decoded data in an array, or a collection (the 
data is then indexed by name, easier but slower), and then process them later 
as you wanted.
