I have problems open and reading from a binary file.

I define the file like this:

Dir "mydir"
File "myfile"
6,1,27,204,32,0,32,254,6,1,30,204,32,9,32,254
6,1,3,204,32,6,32,254,6,1,19,204,32,12,28,4
30,4,205,90,55,1,204,115,5,205,90,55,2,128,182,0
... here follows in total 16kb of data

End Dir

Then I try to open the file and read 32 bytes of data like this:


Private ROMaddress% As Integer
Private hashblock$ As String*32
Private file@ As Byte


ROMaddress% = &H1fe
file@ = Open "@:mydir\myfile" For Binary Access Read
Get file@,ROMaddress%,hashblock$,32
close file@

But this doesn't work, can you tell me why and/or give an example of working with binary files?
