hi,

is there any good and easy way to convert ubyte arrays to short, ushort, int,

if the byte order is correct, a cast should do it, if not, htons and htonl should help (for longs, I think you have to roll your own hton). -- Leandro Lucarella (luca) | Blog colectivo: http://www.mazziblog.com.ar/blog/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SATANAS EN COMISARIA -- Crónica TV
