[Lazarus] Mac OS X : Reading/Writing files under both Intel and PowerPC

[dominique at savagesoftware.com.au]

Hey that's great, I think this is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking

Only thing is that in my case since all the existing game files are little
endian, so it looks like I'll need to reverse the code.

Thanks again,

Dominique.
