  Is this type of assignment supposed to work in C++?  It has been a while
since I used it :).

  They are wide characters.  My hpcboot.cf shows, for instance,
"n\0e\0t\0b\0s\0d\0\0".  If the data is written to the file correctly,
check that your storage card is really named "Storage Card" and the file
is really named "freesoft.gz" (and hasn't had an invisible extension added
somehow along the way).  If it still doesn't work, perhaps this system has
a funky idea of where the root directory is?
