Reviving old topic... It is possible to force stdout to write in binary

In C, the solution is:

-----------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <io.h>

/*...*/

int result = _setmode( _fileno( stdout ), _O_BINARY );
if ( result == -1 )
     perror ("Cannot set stdout to binary mode");
else
     perror ("stdout set to binary mode");
------------------------------

Just a warning, "binary mode" is a C feature, not an OS feature. So you 
have to call the functions that are relevant to the C library you are 
using. On Windows, this could be DMC or MSVCRT. I'm not 100% sure the 
DMC way would be the same as above.
