As I said, this file is meant to be read by a commercial application. I
can not touch this application so I need my new file to look & feel as a
real ascii file. This file is supplied via a parameter and not as stdin

How much does the file have to feel like a regular file? Have you strace(1)'ed the application to see what it does with the file?
