Doug Gwyn answered Bill's questions in detail.  I just want to point out
that MS-DOS has no "funny filetypes."  All typing is by convention only,
everything is really just a string of bytes.  The O_BINARY flag controls
the way the DOS "C" runtime behaves on things like end-of-file (soft via
^Z or hard via filesize) and newline (swallow ^M's or not).
