George Koehler e4ce7da0a2 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.

A few notes on the examples
---------------------------

This directory contains a handful of working example programs that can be
built with the ACK. They're intended as a convenient source of test code
and as a starting point when writing your own programs.

They consist of:

hilo.c             ANSI C version of the Hi/Lo game
hilo.b             Basic version of the Hi/Lo game
hilo.mod           Modula-2 version of the Hi/Lo game
hilo.ocm           Occam 1 version of the Hi/Lo game
hilo.p             Pascal version of the Hi/Lo game

mandelbrot.c       A simple Mandelbrot generator, using floating-point maths
paranoia.c         An ancient public domain K&R C adventure game
startrek.c         An even more ancient public domain ANSI C game
                     (uses the FPU for distance calculation)
startrek.doc       Manual for above (plus in current directory when running)

Enjoy.

(startrek.c was written by David Ahl and converted to C by Chris Nystrom. See
