Use of "fopen":
The usual pitfall when porting UNIX type programs to Windows or OS/2.
UNIX makes no distinction between text and binary files. Therefore it opens
all files as binary files (even though in the C-RTL you can specify binary 
or text).
Windows and OS/2 on the other hand open files as text files as a default.
(unless the C-RTL specifies otherwise).
