Could be wrong but I would guess:

1) open/read/write reads the information as text, not binary info

2) get/put URL might go faster if if you get/put the data into a variable
and write it out once, rather than writing after each 'get' (slow).

  repeat for each line thisline in fld "Inputfiles"
    put URL ("binfile:" & thisline) after tData
  end repeat
  put tData into URL "binfile:FinalOutput"
