At least in the latest version (1.08), you can call setmode() on a file. This is required for stdin/stdout/stderr, which are already opened by the time you call main(). Also, it's always safe to use "rb" or "wb" when you can. > 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). Thanks! DJ dj@ctron.com Life is a banana.
