  Hmm... I've never written a downloader/uploader, however, if you're
able to get the stuff as it's coming in, and you want to throw it into a
fixed record file, try this:
 
  FILE INCOMING;DEV=DISC
  BUILD INCOMING;REC=-80,,f,binary
 
  And route your incoming binary to INCOMING, and MPE will store it into
the file INCOMING, with all your parms.  If you decide to go variable or
undefined record length, just change the 'f' to 'v' or 'u'.  I've used
this method to transfer binaries back and forth between my PC and the HP,
and it seems to work quite well, of course, it's been a while... :)
