If you *really* wanted to use the binary format (which is not
recommended unless you must make your data not readable to human
eyes), then you would have to use a different method than print to
store your data, and make up your own format for storing pictures.
This is not recommended, remember... actually, I've been programming
in Euphoria for about 6 years, and I've never needed the binary
format. (non-binary is essentially plain-text) Binary format is mainly
needed for reading and writing a particular format of file, such as
jpg, or midi.
