The Amiga Formats are big endian, becaus the come from 68k. The RKP8 and
RKP16 formats are little endian. But as I said before I have some classes to
read this formats written in Java. It's not the problem to rewrite them in C++

Yes maybe a REKO card installer is the easiest and fastest way.  I think
about adding a "Install as KDE cards" option in my Java card viewer.

I decided also to write a KIO slave for the REKO cardset. Because I want to
learn a little about KIO. If there is interessting than to add this KIO slave
to the KDE CVS, it would be nice, if not, I learned something. After the KIO
slave is finished it should not be a great problem to write a REKO installer
which usese this slave if there is interest. And it is also possible to make
an advanced kcarddialog which uses the KIO slave to load the cards, if this
is prefered.
