Subject: Re: Big endian convention in Ruby

Thanks you for you answer.
Actually I would like to rewrite the SHA1 algorithm 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA_hash_functions#SHA-1_pseudocode) in a 
pure ruby implementation. And in this way, I would need the ability to 
accomplish the "Pre-processing" step by converting the input as a 64-bit 
big-endian integer. I believe that's could be more simple to do in Ruby 
then in an other language such as in C. But I am not really sure about 
the way to do so.
