	The problem is that the so-called "Byte" data type is really a word-
sized type; it's a holdover from Lisa Pascal. If you want the correct
result, declare both arrays to be arrays of "SignedByte", which is a one-byte
type.

	Just a comment: the expression "@FileBuffer^" is redundant, since
FileBuffer is already a pointer. Just cast "FileBuffer" to a Ptr, as in

	err := FSRead(encRefNum, bytesRead, Ptr(FileBuffer));
