Hi, I'm a newbie in Mathematica Software and I 've got a little difficulty
to find a solution to my problem. Here's my question : 
How could you convert a number in multiprecision written on a file into
a mathematica number (integer). The multiprecision number is composed
of blocs of 16 bits, each representing an integer (unsigned short in C). The
most significiant bloc is the first bloc to be read. 

Every suggestion is welcome. Already thank you for your advices.
