[REBOL] Problem with try [ open/direct/binary tcp://... ] Re:(7)

[larry]

Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],

This will get you started:

>> a: #{012345} b: #{6789}
== #{6789}

This will reverse the bytes, you need head because reverse leaves series
pointer at the tail.
>> head reverse a
== #{452301}

And this puts it back.

>> head reverse a
== #{012345}

To "join" two binary values.

>> append a b
== #{0123456789}
>>

Cheers
