[Chicken-users] Request for general advice on reading binary data

[Matthew Welland]

I'm using file-open and file-read and various blob to vector conversions to 
read and parse binary files. Does anyone have any general suggestions or 
guidelines for doing this efficiently? One possibility that occured to me 
is to read large chunks into a blob and then process rather than reading 
small chunks as needed. I'll probably give this a try but I'm hoping to 
save exploring dead ends by tapping the wisdom of this group.
