Hello Lazarus!

What is the best way to keep the binary compatibility among different CPU architectures.

I need to make our own database engine compatible and other binary files, that user still can use our data from i386 or PowerPC computer.

I really don't like the idea to change the order of all numeric variables on PowerPC, because it costs time of CPU.

There must be easier way how to keep the compatibility.

Could you give me some hints for better solution.
