If I choose save as instead of open and look at the 2 files, the one produced 
using readfile is 6323 bytes long while the one using echo (tried print too) 
is 6774 bytes long. 6323 is the size of the original file.

The problem appears to be that using the echo method it's back-slash escaping 
quotes.  Anyone know how to stop this?
