It may be I dont understand what bytestreams are but I interpret them as
just one long string of characters no delimiters.

I am doing a get, when I do an ASCII get it simply takes the first 372
chars and truncates the following 11000 odd (this is only a test file and
could get much much bigger). The BYTESTREAM get appears to retrieve all the
chars
