     Lattice C allows you to modify the standard fopen() modes (r, w, a)
with either an "a" or a "b".  The "a" modifier means use Mode A to do
translation on the files.  Using Mode A each carriage return character
('\r') is deleted and CTRL-Z is treated as a logical end-of-file mark on
reading.  On writing each line feed character ('\n') is expanded to a
carriage return followed by a line feed.  Mode B doesn't do any
translation.  Mode A provides some MS-DOS compatibility.  If you are
translating source from Lattice to Aztec, just drop the "b" modifiers from
the mode.
