Message-Id: <199709032209.SAA03594@delorie.com> From: Oberhumer Markus Subject: stdin + binmode (yet another one ;-) To: djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com (djgpp-workers) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 1997 00:04:18 +0200 (METDST) Return-Read-To: markus DOT oberhumer AT jk DOT uni-linz DOT ac DOT at Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: bulk I strongly suggest removing all calls that disable Ctrl-C when switching stdin to binary mode (e.g in setmode() or fopen()). Here are my arguments: - UNIX doesnt' have setmode, so it's not a compatibility issue - Borland's, Microsoft's and Watcom's setmode don't do it (just checked), so it's an incompatibility anyway - Disabling Ctrl-C ought to be done via the termios stuff, so it's a bad design - Having to reboot your computer is EVIL ;-) Markus
