I am trying to read a file that has records 300 bytes long. In some of
the records there are records containing characters that have a hex
value of '0C'. Each time my program encounters a hex '0C' it thinks that
it's reading a new record. How can I make my program ignore the hex '0C'
characters and keep the entire 300 bite record together?

Thank you for any help that you can give me,

Greg Good
