I think ther is bug in I/O binary mode :

1)
I can't open ofstream / ifstream in ios::binary mode.
When I use :
  ifstream plik;  plik.open("test.txt",ios::binary); plik<<"OK ;)";
plik.close();
then test.txt is empty. When I don't use ios::binary, then everything is OK.

2) Functions write / read from class ifstream/ofstream, with should be
always binary, are working like in text mode (changing some chars, I think
it was #13 -> #10 #13 or somethink like this)

QUESTION :
Where I can download new version of  DJGPP that don't have this bug,
or how can I do workaround of this bug ?
