I sent a post a few minutes ago in which I said the data might be a binary file, I think I then gave the way I might read that as BinaryReadList["filename.dat",Character8] If I did (and I dont have a record of the post, which had not appeared yet), then I was wrong. I should have used BinaryReadList["filename.dat",Byte] I think. The point I need to get over is that the data format is not set in stone, so I need a way of transfering an arbitrary collection of bytes
