>I am writing to a binary data stream using CHR(#). ie lcdata = CHR(1) + CHR(10) + CHR(12). When the number 10 comes up I output CHR(10). When I look at the file there is a CHR(13) directly in front of the CHR(10). Anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

My guess is that the chr(13) is added by the editor you use to see the file in the second test. In case you use modi comm or modi file, go to the Edit/Properties menu option and uncheck the "Save with line feeds" option.

The way you write to the file is correct, as proved by the hex editor.
