Done. Halfway afore already. You probably noticed by the way I
asked that I was not convinced.

With stream oriented file I/O there is a change that you mistake delimited strings for records. This most of the time is my own mistake (cr/cr/lf, tabs etc) and requires me to delimit and split.

Ok, now I understand. This requires a 'deblock', not a 'sometimes
split if needed', which I left out as too cynical suggestion, my
questions had been ironical enough.

But it leads to the issue of handling binary data in Pipelines
which define records by content. Just two days ago I gave up to
transfer binary content from an ooRexx variable to a NetRexx Pipe
by address '' ... with ... -- assuming it could be an
ooRexx-specific issue. My question was, how to get 'get' reading
files binary.

LOL! Killing killers kills killing?

Your statement was not imprecise, it was the 'split' instead of
'deblock' that "framed" it unintelligible for me.
