Just for the record: I meant to say that _Emacs_ file I/O on
DOS/Windows works in binary mode, not that DOS/Windows in general do
that. The following part in emacs.c does the trick:
#if defined (MSDOS) || defined (WINDOWSNT)
/* We do all file input/output as binary files. When we need to translate
newlines, we do that manually. */
_fmode = O_BINARY;
#endif /* MSDOS || WINDOWSNT */
#ifdef MSDOS
if (!isatty (fileno (stdin)))
setmode (fileno (stdin), O_BINARY);
if (!isatty (fileno (stdout)))
{
fflush (stdout);
setmode (fileno (stdout), O_BINARY);
}
#endif /* MSDOS */
