Yes. If you /really/ wanted to, you could quite easily allocate some
memory, CreateFile, ReadFile, CloseHandle, and peek and poke at it, or
even use file mapping. But don't expect it to be any faster. Perform
some experiments on large files (using standard Euphoria methods)
before reaching any conclusion, or are you already experiencing a
problem?
