Hi,
there's a pascal function to switch endian (for a 32 bit integer)? Note that it should work on 64 bit systems...

Use SwapEndian(longint(value)). The extra longint type cast is to ensure that you call the 32 bit version, regardless of the result type of the expression. We still have to add extra swapendianword/ swapendiandword/... etc functions which unambiguously specify the size they operate on.
