Hello.

I am opening a file with open(), and just read() from it. With Win 98, it
is opened as a binary file. With Win 98 SE, it is opened as text file. How
is it possible ?

I'm not opening files on a mounted file system, but directly from Windows.
Isn't supposed to be the same on all Windows versions ?
