Reading fortran 'unformatted' binary files

[Neil Schemenauer]

The tim-bot thusly spake:
>7-bit ASCII is God's solution to portability <wink>.

Amen.  Down with the eight bit.  Heed the words of the wise
prophet tim-bot.  Binary files are evil incarnate. Unicode is a
temptation created by the evil one.  Do not be lead.  Down that
dark path lies pain, anguish, and a thread on python-dev that
just won't end.
