Hmmm... I seem to recall adding a "setmode" function that operates
similarly to Turbo's, but I don't recall if it is supposed to work
with stdio streams.  You've got the sources - check it out and fix it
if it doesn't (or add the apropriate function).  I'll check out the
documentation and my sources as well.  setmode() on a FILE*'s file
number should be enough for stdout/stdin, as long as you don't do
ftell() on it, which (I believe) is the only function that uses the
flags set in the FILE structure (you can always reset the flag by hand
- see stdio.h)
