Hi,

What is the difference, from the implementation side, between a text file and a binary 
one? Does djgpp mark EOF differently in a text file and a binary file? Is there any 
difference in the way the stream is buffered or treated? And, BTW, are stdin / stdout 
*text* streams? (I understand the logical differences between the two kinds, but not the 
actual compiler job around each one).
