O$ - FileOps strangeness...

I've never used this function on Windows.  Its advantage is that on 
Mac it collects both data and resource forks of a file - if they both 
exist. Even for files that don't contain a resource fork, the binary 
returned will still have a 12-byte header containing Mac file type 
and creator, and an offset to a potential resource fork, a.k.a. the 
size of the data fork following the header.

So on Windows I'd be inclined to use a FileOps object with 
$open/$read/$close instead.
