I'm a bit rusty, but isn't the packing handled for you?

Trial and error says the `pack` is needed. In my "working" installation a plain digit 8 results in no download at all, while coded as in the OP the file loads fine.	[reply] [d/l]

Using `pack 'd', ...` to pack a value defined as a `DWORD` is very suspect. Does using `pack 'V', ...` work equally well?
