Hi Brett,

Indeed, it was needed when SET-MODES didn't exist. Now that it is
possible to set the input port to binary mode, you can get binary
data with just the use of COPY (COPY/PART actually, unless you set
it to NO-WAIT too; I think it is the best thing to do in the case
of possible big input, so you can get it as fast as possible).
Regards,
Gabriele.
