Abstract
A method for making files compatible between different computers having different binary structures while using the same operating system by keeping all files in a standardized canonical order when they move to or from external data storage or communication means. The method includes converting all binary data accessed from a file or communications channel from the canonical order to the natural order of the host computer before using the binary data in the host computer and converting all binary data which is to be sent to a file or communications channel from the natural order of the host computer to the canonical order before sending the binary data.
