Yep - a bug.

djgpp opens all files in textmode unless instructed otherwise, which the 
RTS _should_ do for all files not of type TEXT.

Unfortunately, a quick fix broke the standard "Input" and "Output" so 
please wait a few more days 'till I have time to do this the right way.

Win32 affected too probably.

Hey Peter, does OS/2 (EMX) discriminate between text and binary files like 
DOS, or not, like unix?

Someone once asked me if they could use Open Windows on a Mac.
I said, "I don't know. Let's find out."
I went to the Mac, opened the window and threw out the Mac.
"Yep, You can use Open Windows on a Mac."
