Picture DATA and how to show it

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mark et. al.

Also if I use Applescript to write the Data to a pict file I actually  
get this:

etc.

which looks like binary data and states it IS a png file after all.

But I can't import this file to RR and have a picture come out. How do  
you  recommend converting this from binary to an image?

Ideas???

Thanks
