Yes, real and float mean the same here.

I can't answer that as my Fortran is rusty.

I can only give an example in C; perhaps someone can contribute an example 
in Fortran. In C, if "a" is your array of integers or floats, the bytes 
could be swapped as follows:

   int i;
   char one_byte;
   char *b = (char*)a;

   for( i=0; i<nWords; ++i, b+=4 ) {
      one_byte = b[0]; b[0] = b[3]; b[3] = one_byte;
      one_byte = b[1]; b[1] = b[2]; b[2] = one_byte;
   }
