Re: fileutil cat program


First off, such a patch would be too small to warrant legal papers.
It would probably look like "if (!isatty(0)) setmode(1, O_BINARY);"

Second, is this really what you want?  The DJGPP port of fileutils
uses "-b" to indicate binary mode.  Doing it automatically may create
subtle bugs.
