Fix hilo.p for big-endian platforms.
Unless it is packed, a Pascal char is a C int. Using C types, hilo.p passed an int *buf to uread(), which expected a char *buf. Then uread() wrote the char on the end of the int. This worked on little-endian platforms. This failed on big-endian platforms, as writing the value to the big end of an int multiplied it by 16777216. The fix is to use a packed array [0..0] of char in Pascal. I also change 'string' to a packed array, though this is not a necessary part of the fix.
