network byte order was defined to be big-endian in the early 1980s.
those two functions create big-endian 32 bit representations regardless

Is it true on the common platforms that using ntohl and htonl on
floats will always result in compatible data on the wire or in a
file ? In other words, are floats byte-swapped consistently w.r.t.
the Intel format on all big-endian systems ? Why do you use big-endian on the wire, requiring
a double swap for x86
<-> x86? Wouldn't LE make more sense, especially as PPC Macs become
unavailable?
well i am not in a position to redefine ntohl and htonl.
