I'm trying to read bytes from a file, and it would be handy if there was a method that threw an exception if I couldn't read that many bytes, or encountered an EOF. IO#readbytes seems like the perfect method, but I have an instance of File. The documentation says that File inherits from IO, but the File instance doesn't seem to have the readbytes method. Am I missing something? --Aaron -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/
