Reading Binary Data in Little Endian Format

[Dave]

Hi,

I've tried a few things, such as:

put empty into myData
repeat 4 times
read from file myFile for 1 char
put it before myData
end repeat

But this doesn't work - just returns 0.

Not sure how to go about this in RunRev, although in C it was be  
sooooooooooooooooooooo simple!

All the Best
Dave
