[Nat] But you COULD be having troubles even if you open the file as text both for save and for load. In fact, the magic value 26 is a strong hint that this may be the trouble. A byte containing binary 26 may, in text mode, be interpreted as the character ctrl-Z -- which was the traditional MS-DOS EOF marker.
Thanks very much for pointing this out again. I Misunderstood Robert's suggestion and just checked that I open the archives in binary mode, not the file itself. Once I fixed that everything was running smoothly. Robert, Nate: Thanks very much for your help! :-) Adrian
