Is there a way to force the creation of a little endian file on
a big endian machine? I looked through the code and found the swap for
reading, but not writing.

I am running the 3.30beta version on an IBM RS/6000 Model 320 under
AIX version 3.2.3e .

I've been writing out some rasterized plot files and found three COMMERCIAL
tiff display programs that failed to read big endian files... unbeleivable.

Thanks in anvance for any response.
