A text file created by Notepad will always have the CR at the end of
the line.  This is the "normal" DOS text format.

Use "cat -v" to actually *see* the CRs as printable characters.  "od
-c foo" will also show you exactly which characters are in your file
(`foo' in the example).

MSVC will *always* treat a file as DOS text unless specified otherwise
(so it eats CRs).  I'm not sure how to change stdin to binary with
MSVC.  With Cygwin, you should be able to do setmode(0,O_BINARY).
