Subject: 4 bytes to a long?

	Is there a fast, simple way to convert 4 bytes into a long? I am
doing it presently this way, but it seems kind of kludgy:

union 	{
	long tlong;
	char tchar[4];
	} mytime;
 
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
	mytime.tchar[i]=block[i];
sprintf(tempstr,"%s",ctime(&mytime.tlong));

Any suggestions or is this the best I can do?
