Subject: Re: Newbie question - how to write out specific bytes to an IO stream?

Thank you for your replies!

Both methods seem to work equally well, but I'm seeming to favor the
pack method because i can just push in my random bytes (0-255) into an
array.  I decided to use pack "C*" though, because I think that the C*
directive will limit the packed members to 8 bits, if I'm not mistaken.
