Hello All,

I'm trying to port a bunch of unix image processing programs using djgpp and
have trouble setting the default file mode to binary. 

The file 'libc.doc' that comes with the distribution says I can set the global
variable _ftype to O_TEXT or O_BINARY and it should set the default file type.
But this doesn't seem to work. 

If any of you can give me some *(help)(), I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bandu

PS: Hats off to those who toiled to port gcc (djgpp). It even beats the pants
off of Borland C++ 3.1 for my application (both code size and speed).
