For a short string, when it comes to make it into +data xxxxHHHHHHHH;, it
may be faster not to use a file:
--------------------------------
set theString to "Yes."
set theData to theString as C string -- no good if the data contains ASCII 0
-- +data cstr5965732E00; -- chop off last byte, it's 0
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
set theString to "Yes."
set theData to theString as Pascal string -- no good if the length > 255
-- +data pstr045965732E; -- drop first byte, it's the length
--------------------------------
