File Read Blocks

Demonstrates how to read a file in fixed-size blocks (except for the very last block). Chilkat2-Python

# which can be useful when uploading to cloud storage
# services such as Azure, S3, Google, etc.

# For this example, we're simply writing the blocks
# to an output file, and then checking to see if the
# resulting file contents equals the original file contents.
