Soo ? there is a lot of formats this code can't generate. It's a test
program and I doubt anybody has ever tried to change the output format
since it has never worked for most formats.

but if you want to add support for 3 bytes then there is no way around
having two different storage methods one for BIG and one for LITTLE
endian machines.
