   Making the pkt code endianness agnostic isn't a big task. My pktviewer code   
   does it. I wrote it decades ago, so it would compile on both the Amiga and PC.   
   -)   
      
   But doing so for the three supported messagebases (msg, hudson, jam), is a   
   huge pain in the ass, because the code for these is all over the place.
