[Chimera-users] osx headers

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Randy,

  Python and also the Tiff image library create header files tailored to 
the operating system and CPU when you compile them.  Those machine 
specific header files say for instance that the PPC processor stores 
4-byte integer or float values in one byte order while the Intel 
processor stores them in the opposite order (big-endian vs little-endian).

  Below are all the differences between the Mac PPC and Intel headers 
for 1.2349.
