\bin

\binn

The \bin statement indicates the start of binary picture data. The Help compiler interprets subsequent bytes in the file as binary data. This statement is used in conjunction with the \pict statement.

Parameter

n

Specifies the number of bytes of binary data following the statement.

Comments

A single space character must separate the \bin statement from subsequent bytes. The Microsoft Help compiler assumes that all subsequent bytes, including linefeed and carriage return characters, are binary data. These bytes can have any value in the range 0 through 255. For this reason, the \bin statement is typically used in program-generated files only.

If the \bin statement is not given with a \pict statement, the default picture data format is hexadecimal.
