You guys are awesome! I had to set the 'b' flag when writing the
binaries.
file_obj = open('filename.bin', 'wb')
instead of just using 'w'
It worked fine for all of the other 10 binary files I made, but had a
small error with one of them. In that one file's case it wrote out an
extra 4 bytes in the middle somewhere. Strange.
Thanx for your help.
