In VFP 6 or later, just copy the file to a memory variable with FileToStr(). Then you can get individual bytes with substr().
For older versions of VFP, use the old-fashioned approach (still useful in some situations) of low-level functions: fopen(), fread(), fclose(). fgets() is oriented towards text-files only, so you won't use it here.
