binary stdin/stdout

[John Stanley]

  A friend and I were discussing some tools he is writing and we came
across a problem:

	How does one write portable code to access stdin and stdout in
	binary mode...?

  I know this isn't a problem if you just deal with ***x systems, but
what he wants to do requires being able to port this across many
different machines.  Anyone have a solution?

  PS:  Since I quite often don't have time to read news on the net,
email responses will be cheerfully accepted...  Anything really useful
I'll summarize and repost to the net..

  Advthanksance...
