So it appears that at least on this variant of Unix, stdio can not read binary files... On the other hand, ANSI C specifies that "b" should be used when opening binary files, so I suppose there would be some flags to the compiler to make that work (gcc 2.95.2)... Btw, does compiling Python require ANSI C, or does it work with an old K&R style compiler as well ? I'd love to have Python on my ITS box ;) sidetracked-and-forgot-to-answer-the-question-ly, /Paul
