It helps me a lot up to where it tells you how to reverse it, could someone please elaborate these abbreviations

Function Reverse (N:LongInt) : LongInt ;
Var B0, B1, B2, B3 : Byte ;
Begin
B0 := (N AND $000000FF) SHR 0 ;
B1 := (N AND $0000FF00) SHR 8 ;
B2 := (N AND $00FF0000) SHR 16 ;
B3 := (N AND $FF000000) SHR 24 ;
Reverse := (B0 SHL 24) OR (B1 SHL 16) OR (B2 SHL Cool OR (B3 SHL 0) ;
End ;

methinks it will be an incredibly daunting task even when I fully understand it, but I'm going to try anyway.

Bluntly, you don't have to do that. Understanding endian helps find the solution, it is not the solution in itself.
