Subject: setmode() w/ djgpp v2.0

In recompiling old djgpp v1.42 source with v2.0 (since 2.0 will run under
Win and it also had sped up disk IO etc...) I discovered a library routine
that works under the old v1.42 but not under v2.0.
The routine setmode (int fd, int mode) is supposed to be able to change
text files to binary - it did work before (I have a program that ouputs
binary image data and by default it goes to STDOUT - you can redirect it
and any LFs wont get CRs appended...). Now it does not even pretend to work.
Is this a known flaw and I perhaps just need to download an updated lib ?
If not - how could I implement setmode() myself - I assume I would just toggle
some flag in the FILE structure but I haven't the slightest which one.
If anyone can help me, please e-mail me - gt2832b AT prism DOT gatech DOT edu -
because I am not subscribed to the newsgroup.

Thanx.
