Jacque, these are my latest thoughts as far as possible problems. 1. Dar is very confused and off in the wrong direction. Use big stick. 2. Binary data is in an 8-bit char set encoding causing problems with UTF-8 decode. Check encoding. 3. Field, line and character metadata are interfering. Clear all, then set and get consistently. 4. Merge is not handling binary data as text. Use textDecode first.
