Nice. I don't think DOS/Windows understand "rt" - they do the opposite
("rb" for binary). Don't think it hurts, though.
Cheers,

Every C library I've seen for DOS, OS/2 or Windows (those that usually use
CR/LF line termination in text files) has a way of setting the default mode
(text or binary) and allows the b or t to override the default. I haven't
used any MS compilers though, I generally avoid all MS software, so I don't
know about Visual C++.
