You don't need to: a file of char is basically just bytes.

file of X types are block based files (even if the block size is 1 if you use Char or Byte). For these the concept of code pages is not relevant. So either use TextFile or read the string data and then use SetCodePage(yourstr, yourcp, False) which will set the code page without converting the string.
