If the file is a bytestream file (that is, a file that looks something like
the following in MPE space; this file below is a picture of Michealangelo's
Sistene Chapel in Windows .bmp format):

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

CREATION            1B  FA      565590    1000000 255     2224  9  8

then you might try something like this:

 1140 ON END #1 THEN 1340
 1150 FOR R=55 TO 1E7
 1160   LINPUT #1,R;I$

which is nothing more than an awful lot of single-byte record reads. It does
work, however (byte 55 is where the data starts in a Windows 24-bit image
bitmap).
