Problem with BinaryEncode and variable params

[Mark Smith]

Bryan, for the purposes of encoding image data (1-byte unsigned  
integers), the numToChar function works just as well:

repeat for each item i in tList
   put numToChar(i) after tBinaryString
end repeat

Otherwise, "C4" (rather than "CCCC") has always worked for me...

Best,

Mark
