More information:
This module contains four functions: One that reads string data from a file using the ReadFile API function, one that reads binary data into a byte array, one that writes string data to a file using the WriteFile API function, and one that writes a byte array to a file.
VB 6 or higher is required because one of the functions returns an array. You can change this to a variant if you want to use this in VB5.
