Re: [MacPerl] File reading ?'s

[Jeremy Lee <jeremy@cdsnet.net>]

OK.  I found this stuff. Thanks.

But I don't understand the difference.  Is "read" only meant for Text 
files, and "sysread" for binary files?  Can you do a regular "open" 
command, and then do a "sysread"?  It doesn't say that they are dependant 
on each other.

Thanks for the leads...
