Hi, I am new to mathematica and I am having trouble reading binary files. Here is a copy-paste of my notebook that gives me the error. In[117]:= $Packages Out[117]= {Utilities`BinaryFiles`,Global`,System`} In[118]:= stream = OpenReadBinary["may14b_05.255"] Out[118]= OpenReadBinary[may14b_05.255] In[119]:= Close[stream] >From In[119]:= General::stream: OpenReadBinary[may14b_05.255] is not a string, InputStream[ \ ], or OutputStream[ ]. Out[119]= Close[OpenReadBinary[may14b_05.255]] I am guessing that Mathematica is not recognizing the command OpenReadBinary[]. But, when I display $Packages, it shows that the package Utilites`BinaryFiles` is loaded and hence is in context. What could be the problem ? Please help. Thanks, Vijay.
