Subject: AW: file I/O: how can I disable auto-convert of the 2-byte sequence 0x0D, 0x0A into a single byte '\n'?

Thank you for helping.

For all, interesting in this question: alternativ to the method
"binmode", 
it works with File.new("test.dat", "rb") as well, opening the binary-IO.

Cheers, Frank

Have you tried switching to binary mode ?

dest.binmode
