The sybject line says most of i, I guess.  MSDOS has that ittitating
habit of adding a CR whenever it outputs a NL, which is fine until
you try to write a program that writes a "binary" file to cout.

I've tried the obvious things, without luck.  For example

cout << setiosflags(ios::binary) << "\n";

still sends a crlf pair to the stdout.  I called Borland tech support,
but they didn't seem to understand why one might ever wish to
do what I want to do.

So--in short.  Can I turn off the \n --> \r\n translation for cout?
