(C++) Append Big-Endian or Little-Endian Integers

Demonstrates how to append integers in big-endian or little-endian byte order to a BinData.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

    // -------------------------------------------
    // Now do the same thing with 16-bit integers
