If I had a file called raw_text.txt, is there a way I could iterate through each bit?

I see the following but am confused on how to use it:

http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/File-Manipulation.html
— procedure: file-attributes/mode-string attributes
The mode string of the file, a newly allocated string showing the file’s mode bits. Under unix, this string is in unix format. Under Windows, this string shows the standard “DOS” attributes in their usual format.

EDIT: I am using mit-scheme

    It’s implementation-specific. On the Racket side of things, there are a few libraries:

    1. http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=bitsyntax.plt&owner=tonyg

    2. http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=bit-io.plt&owner=soegaard

    You can probably use something like the binary-parse library as well: http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/binary-io.html, as long as your implementation of Scheme can support it.

    Under MIT Scheme, you can use the bit-string functions.
