That is processor independent and I will eventually have to run (at least the core of the program) on a computer with a intel chip in it and running linux or some other unix derivative. I know how I can break the number up into manageable 32 bit chunks but all I know about the SANE format is that it was cooked up by Apple and it is only on Macs.
