This function has effect only on non POSIX compliant systems which does not use "\n" as EOL and allows to enable automatic translation for "\n" into "\r\n" so it works only in DOS, MS-WINDOWS and OS/2. Clipper by default set 0, 1 and 2 descriptors into binary mode disabling such translations so we are Clipper compatible now. It means that if you will try to execute any code which expects that "\n" will be translated to "\r\n" then just like in Clipper it will not work correctly. But it does not mean that we should change default BINARY mode to TEXT mode in DOS/WIN/OS2 builds. We cannot make it because it breaks output in exiting Clipper compatible code changing "\r\n" into "\r\r\n". best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
