I'm trying to port Wm. Loftus's uucico to Manx.  I've encountered a
few difficulties.  Hoping the net can answer another question.  (Or
if someone else has already done this, care to send me a copy of all
your source?)

Anyways, a lot of the fopens use a mode of "rb" or "wb".  What's the
b for?  Do I need to worry about this with Manx or can I just change
it to "r" or "w"?  (Actually, my Manx manual is currently at work
while I'm at home for a change, but I don't *think* Manx has a "b"
option and those perfectly good looking fopens() are failing...)

By the time anyone actually responds to this, I'm sure I'll have
changed all those silly bs everywhere, but it'd be nice to know
what they are.  -Joe
