Thanks, Gabriele and Andreas - that put me on the right track. I came up with
the following...
#!/usr/bin/rebol -cs
REBOL []
file-name: %test-file.bin
file: read/binary file-name
print rejoin [
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream^/"
"Content-disposition: inline; filename=" file-name "^/"
"Content-Length: " length? file "^/"
]
set-modes system/ports/output [binary: yes]
insert system/ports/output file
-- Carl Read.
