Zimmer, That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. It will be a bit slower to write the entire file out to disk, UUENCODE it, then re-readit. But it may be worth it to get the job done.
FYI I am needing to use some sort of encoding because the RPCBroker doesn't seem to properly transmit binary data. i.e. when I tell it to transmit an array that contains control characters, it seems to choke.
