i'm trying to read a file byte by byte (and later alter the data and
write it to a 2nd file byte by byte) and running into a problem where
it seems to keep reading the same byte over and over again (an endless
loop). i thought that BinaryReader.Re adByte advanced to the next byte?
i had it time out after 1000 iterations, and keeps outputting the same
byte. any help appreciated, my code is below:

It's not reading the same byte over and over again, it's writing the same byte over and
over again. :-)
Before the While loop, you read the first byte into variable 'c', and then convert it into a
string, 'sNextByte'. At the beginning of each While loop, you concatenate 'sNextByte'
onto 'sOut'. At the end of each While loop, you read the next byte into variable 'c'.
Notice that 'sNextByte' is only assigned to once, before the While loop, and it's all
that you ever save into 'sOut'. You're ignoring all of the subsequent reads into 'c'.

gawd, you had to tell me THAT?
thanks a lot though, this was a maddening error.

All text data is ended with a carriage return / line feed while the binary

I'm using the zipfile library to read a zip file in Windows, and it
seems to be adding too many newlines to extracted files. I've found
that for extracted text-encoded files, removing all instances of '\r'
in the extracted file seems to fix the problem, but I can't find an
easy solution for binary files.
The code I'm using is something like:
from zipfile import Zipfile
z = Zipfile(open('zippedfile.zip'))
