I have the impression that the DOS vs UNIX selection at setup time
merely sets the mount modes (binmode vs textmode) for the default
mount points.  And nothing else.  Is this correct?

Thus, there is no difference in behavior under the default mounts with
a DOS setup and an explicit textmode mount with a UNIX setup?  And
conversely, no difference in behavior under the default mounts with a
UNIX setup and an explicitly binmode mount with a DOS setup?

Thanks,
Kylo
