My contention is I have never seen a problem treating everything as binary.
If you have code which explicitly tests for CR-LF, then you have trouble...
I basically agree with you Marty, except that reading all those stupid
^Ms in 8-bit-clean mode under Nihongo Emacs sometimes drives me batty.
So I DOS2Unix them.... No sweat.
I just looked at my Aztec C manuals (I used Aztec on 6502, 8085 CP/M and
Ms/Dos). They don't know about or care about TEXT/BINARY mode...
I've shuffled hundreds of programs over the years this way between
MS-dog and Unix and I never saw anything bad happen...
