Hi folks,

another stupid problem:

I tryed to write binary datas in a file. I can use only the "write" function - the result is all $0A will be converted into "$0D $0A" - Yes, thats the CrLf - I think it's no problem under UNIX, Linux, Ponyx, Limbux etc. :-)

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.

How can I write binary datas in a file? It must be work in MS-DOS !!!

Win32 affected too probably.

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