Hi! I developed some abstractions for reading/writing binary files, but they're somewhat limited in capability. They just load the data into a list of floats (one per byte), or save a list of floats to a file, and they read/write the entire file at once. They don't support repositioning within the file, or writing/reading a portion of the file. But if the files are relatively small, they might be suitable.
I can send them to you later if you're interested, I'm at work right now.
