Does the standard have anything to say about wether stdin and stdout are opened to a file stream opened in binary mode? Would a program which wrote binary data to standard output, or read it from standard input, be complying? The reason for asking is that many programs which were developed for UNIX, which do this, fail on systems where binary and text mode for file streams are not identical. I'd like to know wether they fail in a standard - conforming or a non - standard - conforming way :-) -- Thomas Koenig, ig25@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de, ig25@dkauni2.bitnet The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic diagram.
