Hi,

I have a program that runs in the Unix "filter" style from stdin to
stdout.  On Unix it runs find, but in MS-DOS I had to add the following:

setmode(stdin/stdout,O_BINARY)

This was needed to suppress the MS-DOS ctl-Z feature under MS-C.  (The
input and output is BINARY and not ASCII!)  It looks like I am having
the IDENTICAL program now under OS/2 when using the GCC compiler and
libraries (from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu).  However it appears GCC does not
provide the same setmode() function as MS-C.  The gcc library docs
are limited (are there any?).  Can anyone tell me what the equivent
function call would be to have OS/2 GCC treat stdin and stdout as
binary byte streams?

Frank
