Good morning:
<p>Just so this doesn't get lost, I would like to propose a method to write
binary data out to a file. By binary data, I mean writing the actual value
of the data to the file instead of the value converted to an ASCII representation.
Propose two methods:
1. Add a new format specification (section 13.1.1.2) '%x' that represents
"Write in binary value (which may not have an ASCII representation.)"
2. Add a new file I/O task $fwritex. This task writes its arguments binary value
to the specified file. [ Note, $fdisplay is not considered since the usefulness of
a newline character within binary data is considered out of place.]
Maybe both should be included to be consistent with the other tasks and format specifications.
