...or a gotcha, if you discover that your existing numeric data are wrong,
because of Endianness differences. A number stored on an architecture that
practises Little Endian will be arse-over-turkey on a system that practises
Big Endian. I don't know whether Mac is Little E or Big E but I do know
that I would want to find out before file-copying a database.
