If you choose binary, you'll need to be careful with fileio xtra. It
will stop at the first zero byte it finds (mistaking for eof char). A
workaround is to write out the binary chars one at a time via
writeChar (slow!). A better method is to use binaryio xtra at
http://www.updatestage.com.
I was just about to look into some sort of formated text file output,
when I saw this thread. Good timing! I'll be interested in how it
works out.
