+ way.
+
+ Data can be written in either big-endian or little-endian format,
+ little-endian being the default on all architectures but BigEndianOrdered()
+ can be used to change this. The default format for the floating point types
+ is 80 bit "extended precision" unless @c wxUSE_APPLE_IEEE was turned off
+ during the library compilation, in which case extended precision is not
+ available at all. You can call UseBasicPrecisions() to change this and
+ use the standard IEEE 754 32 bit single precision format for floats and
+ standard 64 bit double precision format for doubles. This is recommended
+ for the new code for better interoperability with other software that
+ typically uses standard IEEE 754 formats for its data, the use of extended
+ precision by default is solely due to backwards compatibility.
If you want to write data to text files (or streams) use wxTextOutputStream
instead.
