Procedure WriteBin outputs the specified data to a binary file. The variable length parameter list specifies the data to be written to the file.

Supported data types include INTEGER (2-bytes), REAL (8-bytes), LONGINT (4-bytes), CHAR (1-byte) or STRING/DYNARRAY OF CHAR (see remarks).

The bytes will be written as little-endian.

Strings will require two additional INTEGER parameters: symbol count and encoding:

0 – mac

1 – win

2 – system

3 – UTF8

4 – UTF16

PROCEDURE WriteBin(
          z   :ANY);

def vs.WriteBin(z):
    return None
