Are you sure? Looking at this byte stream, one could just aswell say that 
it is in little endian order (lowest byte first), and

01 00 => var1
02 => var2
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 => var3
04 00 00 00 => var4

etc.

I haven't used wxDataOutputStream or checked the code, so I can't be sure 
of this. But it makes sense to me.

Cheers, Chris.
