Yes.

|  set fs = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
|  set f = fs.opentextfile("test.bin")
|  s = f.readall
|  f.close
|  wscript.echo len(left(s, 100)) 'shows 100
|  z = left(s, 100)
|  wscript.echo len(z) 'shows 100

  Not len. Just Left(s, 100). It should show the first
100 characters. MsgBox Left(s, 100). With your
file I get a blank. With a GIF file I get only the first
few characters, up to the first null.
  When I tried writing your file back to disk it did
work, as you said, but doing the same with a GIF
showed "invalid procedure call or argument". I don't
know why the discrepancy.

  It's unpredictable because the FSO designers were
assuming dumb IT people who only needed to deal with
text. So you can handle nulls but in some cases they'll
mess things up if you don't do it just so. That seems to
also be the problem with the CharSet problem. FSO
is altering characters "to be helpful". so when I used
the Greek charset code to write a GIF back to disk, it was
mostly OK, but there were minore glitches. For instance
 chr(34), a quote, got changed to something else that looked
like 2 commas.
