Just in case the answer wasn't clear, Windows pretends that "text" files
are different from "binary" files.

So you'll want to use "binary mode" to read/write binary files on Windows.

Thus, use "rb" instead of "r" to read a binary file, and "wb" instead of "w"
to write a binary file.


Hope this helps,
