Reading, writing Binary files

[Jim Bassett]

What we are trying to do here is take a binary file or files like for example gif files, encode them into base64, embedded that into XML, then decode and save the binary file to a disk. We what to do this using VBScript or JAveScript. The only Read or Write commands we can find in these scripts are commands to read or write text or text streams. Are we overlooking binary read and write commands somewhere or do these not exist?
