In the docs for DJGPP lib.c `open':

O_TEXT 
The file is opened in text mode, meaning that Ctrl-M characters are
stripped on reading and added on writing as needed. The default mode
is specified by the _fmode variable section _fmode.

The effect I want, however, is to strip ^M on reading and _do not_
add them back when writing (i.e., always write text files with unix
NL line endings).

Should I open in text mode and then write in binary mode?
