unfortunately, the fizhi-gridalt-hs verfication experiment does not use 
any of this byteswapping stuff for integers, so it is not a test of the
new code. i wish you had asked me which experiment to use to test this
out. and i took a quick look at your hi.f to test it offline. it seems
to write and then byteswap the integer, but we don't know whether it 
byteswapped anything or not.....  but thanks for the effort.
