I know that by posting this, it will be gatewayed to the newsgroup,
and my UCE will go up, but:

I want to read a bytestream file with FOPEN/FREAD and get the file's
data exactly as it appears (if the file has 8 bytes and a newline,
that's what I want to see). I've been doing an FREAD, asking for
1024 bytes, but all I'm getting is 72 bytes (it should be 72 bytes
and a newline). Can I do this, and if so, how? I've tried specifying
binary (fopt.(13:1):=0), but this gets overridden because it is
bytestream. Would NOBUF (aopt.(7:1):=1) help?

If I have to call HPFOPEN, I don't mind doing that. I'm trying to
avoid having to write a little block of C routines to do the IO,
but if I can't do anything else quickly, that's what I'm going to
do.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Because I want to, OKAY????? 8^)
