-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Paul Eggert on 5/6/2005 12:01 PM: > That looks pretty complicated. How about if we just rely on "open" > and "fcntl" to do the work?

That's okay for a start, but it now defaults to the underlying mount mode when the user does not specify binary or text. In my opinion, dd should default to binary when neither text nor binary is specified (of course, that makes iflag=binary pretty much a no-op). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
