I think your are joking, since your post does not seem to indicate what you would do with the 8th bit of every byte, assuming your input is 8-bit bytes.  Of course, 7-bit ASCII would be unusable when dealing with videos, j-pegs, even Word documents.  What is the problem with simply reading binary disk blocks as 8-bit text using Sequential_IO, since Austin wants to use the attributes 'Pos and 'Val on the data stream?
