	Text file - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term 'text file' is typically used in contrast with the term 'binary file', even though any file is fundamentally a sequence of arbitrary bits, and many computer components (for example, all hard disk circuitry and most system software) make no distinction between file types.
		Text files are files where most bytes (or short sequences of bytes) represent ordinary readable characters such as letters, digits, and punctuation (including spaces), and include some control characters such as tabs, line feeds and carriage returns.
		Text files have some advantages even for data storage because they avoid certain problems with binary files, such as endianness, padding bytes, or differences in the number of bytes in a machine word.

	Binary file - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A binary file is a computer file which may contain any type of data, encoded in binary form for computer storage and processing purposes; for example, computer document files containing formatted text.
		Binary files are usually thought of as being a sequence of bytes, which means the binary digits (bits) are grouped in eights.
		Binary files typically contain bytes that are intended to be interpreted as something other than text characters.

	Felgall Software - The Difference Between Binary and Text Files
		When you access a file from within C or C++ you have a choice between treating the file as a binary file or as a text file.
		Binary files are not broken up into separate lines or records so the end-of line marker is not written when writing to a binary file.
		When we write to a binary file the only end-of-line markers that are written will be those that we code into the output ourselves and hence will be exactly as we code it regardless of the operating system that we are running on.

		A common class of binary files is programs in machine language ("executable files") ready to load into memory and execute.
		Binary files may also be used to store data output by a program, and intended to be read by that or another program but not by humans.
		The FTP utility must be put into "binary" mode in order to copy a binary file since in its default "ascii" mode translates between the different text line terminator characters used on the sending and receiving computers.

	binary file - a definition from Whatis.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A binary file is a file whose content must be interpreted by a program or a hardware processor that understands in advance exactly how it is formatted.
		In general, executable (ready-to-run) programs are often identified as binary files and given a file name extension of ".bin".
		In terms of transmitting files from one place to another, a file can be transmitted as a "binary," meaning that the programs handling it don't attempt to look within it or change it, but just pass it along as a "chunk of 0s and 1s," the meaning of which is unknown to any network device.

	sciforums.com - Problem converting text file to binary file
		Binary files use any size fields, so for this reason they have to be read sequentially.
		Data from this file has to be read sequentially, since it is a hodgepodge of data in variable sized chunks, using delimiters such as commas or tabs to separate chunks.
		Open file for binary access write as #1, allows strings or numbers to be written to the file in chunks of variable size comforming to the size of the data in the chunk.

	Binary Files
		A binary file is a file that consists of a sequence of items, each of which is of the same data type.
		The time needed to process a binary file is shorter because data is already stored in the way that it is internally represented.

	How to crack a Binary File Format (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Although, cracking a binary file format may tempt you to write instant code, you should realize that it is a long and complicated task, which often requires the code to undergo major revisions.
		Some binary file formats use a block structure where each chunk of data is stored in a number of equal sized blocks.
		You can use a Binary File Compare utility to compare the files and discover how certain changes are reflected in the binary file, which gives you information about the where the information is stored.

	Binary File
		A binary file is a non-text file that is encoded as a text file so that it can be transferred across the Usenet community.
		When users download these files, they have to decode the message from text back to its original binary file so that they have the file they wanted.
		On the other hand, binary files are what allowed Usenet to develop into what it is today: a strong, growing, and thriving community of peers that are able to exchange information in the form of text and binaries.

		File type modifiers are then applied to the base types allowing for support of RCS keyword expansion, file compression on the server, and more.
		Editing these files on a non-UNIX client should be done with caution, as submitting them to the depot may result in a symbolic link pointing to a nonexistent file on the UNIX client.
		Because the timestamps on such files are often used as proxies for versioning information (both within the development environment and also by the operating system), it is sometimes necessary to preserve the files' original timestamps regardless of a Perforce user's client settings.

		On modern operating systems a text file is simply a binary file that happens to contain only printable characters, but some older systems distinguish the two file types, requiring programs to handle them differently.
		There is also a problem sharing binary numerical data between processors with different endianness.
		Confusingly, some files produced by wordprocessors, and rich text files, are actually binary files because they contain non-printable characters and require special programs to view, edit, and print them.
