Thanks for your responses.

What I was doing was reading in some data from a binary file, this data 
need to be printed in an xml document. I have now used 
Base64.encode64(rawdata) and I am using this to write to the xml file. 
It wasn't working at first, maybe because I opened the file in binary 
mode.

Thanks,
Jim.
