I wouldn't do that. MSC++7.1 can cope with the new templates to select
the right types. With the endianess tester we could use the standard
mechanism
for Windows as well and just have some other specialities (min, max etc).
Moreover, I'm not sure what will happen on 64bit Windows, probably the
defines are wrong there. Compile time checks are better...

Nice. So I can leave my endianess test class?

Something different: How do you create patches? I did a test yesterday and
I was not able to apply the patch. What I did was
> cvs diff -u config\config.h programs\teapot.cxx utils\twister.h
in the raypp directory.
Then I wanted to apply the patch (on my laptop) using
patch -u -i mypatch.txt
but that didn't work. First it did not find the files (although when typing
them
manually they were found) and then all changes were rejected.
I did all that on the Windows platform, so it could be wrong/non-working/
incompatible versions of diff/patch but I want to make sure I do not have
a general problem there.
Any ideas?
