Unfortunately, I suspect that the "correct" fix for the problem is to
convert DJGPP to support a single stream mode exclusively, like many POSIX
environments having a binary mode but no text mode.  E.g., for DJGPP, I'd
consider:

1) eliminating text streams from DJGPP by implementing all streams as
binary, e.g., setting stdin, stdout, stderr to binary via setmode() method
upon startup
2) converting to a single character linefeed, e.g., LF only instead of CRLF,
for simpler code support of binary streams
3) installing a RM int 0x29 routine as part of execution startup which
will convert LF's to CRLF's for display, but not for file redirection

I'm sure that is far beyond what you had in mind...
