Description: [lmm': this can be done pretty easily by having FFILEPOS check byte sizes of files and punt to FILEPOS if they aren''t both 7 in Interlisp-10]'

I would expect it to work at least for byte size = 8.'
(Note': this is in Interlisp-10.)'
FILEPOS works just fine for both 7 and 8, presumably'
because it is calling BIN rather than accessing the characters'
directly from the file pages.'
