opening a file in binary mode

[Lenny Palozzi <lenny.palozzi@...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to open and write a file in binary mode but openfile seems to be ignoring my 'b' specification.

I'm assuming the following code should work?

  out = openfile("out", "w+b")
  write(out, 9999)
  closefile(out)

writes the string 9999 to out

Or am I misunderstanding something?

I would guess that write would write the value as a string if I passed a string, the number value in binary if I passed a number.

Thanks,
-Lenny.
