I thought about base 64, but not so sure that all the binary data can be encoded/decoded correctly. What do you think?	[reply]

That is its function - to armor binary data in an ASCII-only environment. It is (IIRC) how binaries were distributed on NNTP, for example. --MidLifeXis	[reply]

Thanks, I tired putting base-64 encoded binaries to the DATA, and then decoding and writing to file. It works! Thanks for your help :)	[reply]
