Kevin, I am pretty certain that the answer is no, it's not binary friendly. I took a brief look at the routine at http://vista.vmth.ucdavis.edu/rtn/_ZISH#GTF and at MGTF+11 you can see that it adds CRLF (!) at the end of each data node. Also, although most MUMPS implementations can handle binary data just fine, many of the utilities cannot. Also, I seem to recall (It's been a long time since I looked at it) that the protocol of the vanilla RPCBroker might choke on binary data as well. Someone else here should be able to answer definitively. The XML coding of Medsphere's CPRS variant might do fine with it and M2Web can work with binary data also.
