I can understand that where the native data type is binary, but it seems 
odd that WriteString and WriteAnsiString also write binary data. Basically 
it means that for writing text data, which one would assume was happening 
with these routines, they are unusable.

Perhaps some sort of comment in the source code would be helpful, just to 
note that WriteString and WriteAnsiString do not write text data.
