I'm trying to port a compiler (apl2c) written in C to msdos using dj
delorie's gcc (1.01 currently). The compiler has several stages that
pass intermediate results using stdout, stdin. The problem is that the
data passed ought to be binary rather than dos text. It appears to me
that stdin (e.g. putchar, getchar etc.) only write/read dos text. If I
use a file, I can toggle between the two using either the "b" option
or setting _fmode (not _ftype as in the docs), but this doesn't seem
to work for stdin/stdout. Is this true? Do I have to rewrite the io to
use files or make it into printable text?
