Debra,

If the PIPE and FILE outputs differ, then it's because the piped-to decoder 
didn't create an exact copy of its input.

Put another way, piping to a decoder script that simply cat(1)s its input into 
a new file will result in the same file as FILE-ing it.

You can run sequential FILE and then EXEC actions on the same file. Just be 
sure to use the "-close" option of the FILE action.

I regret that I don't have the time to vet your binWriter(1) script.
