Re: Binscii problem

Thought I posted the problem I had - guess not. OK - what happened
was, of course, human error; I correctly gave 
pathname to the file to be decoded. What I did wrong was I gave it
a full payhname to the file I WANTED IT TO DECODE TO instead of 
just the directory. I was not aware (& it's unclear in the FAQ) that
BINSCII'd files have a filename BUILT IN. Ergo, BINSCII took my
filename as a folder name & tried to open a nonexistent folder,
couldn't & halted with 'file not found'. *klunk*.

Now if I just find software that reads my mind . . .
