Cold Panic

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Robert,

What happens if you replace END with EOF?

For a "low level file" you usually need a script similar to

   open file myFile for binary read
   read from file myFile until EOF
   close file myFile
   -- it now contains the binary data

It may help to check the result after the open and the read commands.

Best,

Mark
