I believe that all the routines that I  have posted  do work on binary
data.  The call used to get a character returns a binary value, and
it is true hex.  In particular, my cexec stuff is a pure binary
image, and the routines that I use convert it to hexified eexec code.
if you were to try to eexec hexified code (2 ascii bytes for each
binary number) they would fail.  Of course if you use scanf
and do a %x you would read in hex data, but then you would have to
have a non-hex character between each 2 bytes of data.
