It could be that BeToN is the wrong function (it depends on how the 
method is used). What it does is the following: if the target cpu is big 
endian (m68k, powerpc) then just return the value, otherwise (i386) swap 
the endianess.

So you should check what SwapLong is really used for.

There are three possible functions:
BeToN (as mentioned above)
LeToN (leave as is if little endian, convert otherwise)
SwapEndian (change always)
