I'm working with a very large (16 Meg) AIFF sound file exported from the audio software ProTools which has some undocumented header information which I need to preserve. I've successfully loaded the file using ReadList[...,Byte], modified the desired data Bytes, and now I want to write the new data (with the old header info) back out to a new file. I'm inclined to not use Export[..., AIFF] because I will lose the ProTools custom header information. In lieu of there not being a symmetrically conceived WriteList[..., Byte] function, how do I tell Mathematica to simply write my list of bytes out to a file? I'm confused by all the reference to NewLine, Strings, Comma Delimited, etc. etc. etc.... (In other words, each element of my list is a number with a value between 0 and 255 which needs to be written into just one byte of the file.) Part B of my question: I'm working on a Macintosh, so how do I give the new file a "File Type" and "Creator" identification to match the original file? john kiehl
