as has derived from:
http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=119472&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1
the current dll version is 1.0.4
it now supports also text files (ie, write array of characters and it writes you an textfile)
if someone of you can reach ruud, might want to consider asking about this.
I checked the scriptlogic forum too (where he has been seen the last, afaik) but no life there either.
for file-functions I consider adding yet truncading and appending for write-modes.
and for read more partial read as if you've been pointed to wrong file it can take a while to read 5G of data before script gets it's hand to it to realize it was wrong file.
about richards suggestion on seek()
not sure what he wants to seek.
particular byte or byte frequence or even text-style matching (which indeed produces huge overheat)?
k, for file-operations that's about it.
44k dll.
then I must ask is that all?
like, we can access other devices than normal FS-IO.
we can burn CD's or we can do tape-backups.
we can stream data to network (using sockets or not) and so on.
I mean, I had 2 things in mind why I had to code this.
1) get my ntbackup script working without selecting the data in ntbackup, so unprofessional 
2) email with attachments directly from kixtart (with help of this and hoby's net::telnet impl.)
so, now I can do my backup stuff with KF and only do the actual writing with ntbackup.
and I can email myself screenshot from client wksta when they run into trouble during logon (ok, ok, I need to implement clipboard code for that, but you get my point)
anyways, the options are limited only by my lack of coding talents (which is limitation I intend to remove) and the lack of need.
so, if you always wanted to do something but you couldn't as kixtart has it's limits on binary.
shoot it.
