Frank Mattison:

# Does anyone have a suggestion for reading this binary file?
# 
# Situation: OpenVMS, Alpha, Ada '83.  Binary file created by C++ program.
#            Use_Error raised on first byte.  We regularly read Ada-generated
#            binary files, but the C++ source in new.

If I remember well my painful experiences with the
tandem {DEC Ada & Sequential_IO}, there is one carriage return
expected after each element (in your case, each byte!).
Try to write some date with your Byte_IO and see the result
in a binary editor...
I suspect Larry's reply is the good way (hum, but specific to DEC Ada...)
