From standard distribution (installation through .exe file): open() function in Windows (I have win2k and xp) opens files in text mode and stops on chr(26). I cannot parse a binary file (!). On Linux all works fine. Regards, Reson5

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 chr(26) or Ctrl+Z is the end-of-file character in Windows, for text-mode files. If you open the file in binary mode, e.g. with open("filename", "rb"), there should be no problems with reading the chr(26).
