  That seems odd. He specced it as ANSI English before declaring
it binary. So each byte should be a character. This works fine for me:

Set ds = createobject("adodb.stream")
ds.open
ds.charset = "windows-1252"
ds.writetext "abcdef"
ds.position = 0
ds.type = 1

For i = 0 to ds.size - 1
  ds.position = i
  x = ds.read(1)
  MsgBox x
Next

ds.close
Set ds = Nothing

Oddly, if I don't set position to 0 first it says the operation
is not allowed. But as written I get a msgbox for a,b,c,d,e,f.
The trouble is that x is datatype byte() and VBS chokes on it.
