Different indention.

As multibyte on-disk variables, these will need LE/BE conversion.

Dito.

LE/BE issues here...

You'll output wrong values here, depending on your host system.

Looks like a useful program, but you'd definively fix the LE/BE
issues. If you do that, it'll be able to even run on BE machines, too.
