I have a problem with binscii, namely that binscii will not unpack a file
unless I run it through the text editor in Mouse Talk.  I am getting the
files by saving them in my directory on our Unix machine and then downloading
them via Kermit.  What would be in the file that M.T. would filter out and
that would prevent binscii from doing its job.  Without conditioning the files
in this manner binscii just seems to search the file looking for the beginning
of the program and fails.  Is it all in my head that this editor is able to
make the files useable?  I don't edit or anything, I just load them and then
save them....
