Function: Swaps longs inside the given bounds inside the memoryblock.
Example:
It should do something like this:
dim m as memoryBlock
for i=0 to numbytes step 2
m.long(i)=EndianSwap32MBS(m.long(i))

// Test SwapBytes32MBS and SwapBytes16MBS:
const h11223344=&h11223344
const h22114411=&h22114433 // 16bit swap
const h44332211=&h44332211 // 32bit swap

MemoryBlock.SwapBytesMBS(offset as Integer, numBytes as Integer)
method, MemoryBlock, MBS Util Plugin (Memory), class MemoryBlock, Console safe, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Works, Feedback.
Function: Swaps bytes inside the given bounds inside the memoryblock.
Notes: Reverses the order of the bytes at the given offset and length in the memoryBlock. This is helpful to change representation of values from Little Endian (used in Windows) to Big Endian (used in Mac OS) and vice versa. Thanks to Franco Vaccari for the code of this routine.

MemoryBlock.UInt64DoubleMBS(offset as Integer) as Double
method, MemoryBlock, MBS Util Plugin (Memory), class MemoryBlock, Console safe, Plugin version: 6.4, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Works, Linux x86: Works, Feedback.
Function: Read/Write an 64bit Integer as a double value.
Notes:
Interprets 8 bytes starting at the given offset as a 64 bit unsigned integer value. This method converts the value into a double value.
Does not take care on the LittleEndian property.
