RE: Poll: do we really need newline conversion?

IMHO,

Rule 1: Open text files as text ( fopen ( ..,"rt"))
                -- there is no '\r' to worry about, only '\n'
                -- don't try fseek()on these files.
Rule 2: open binary files as binary ( fopen(.."rb");
                -- then don't try fgets.

Let the 'lower' layer ( Win32, MSVCRT, cygwin, c-lib ) take care of
the insertion/addition of '\r' if needed.
