Unfortunately, READ does not accept binary streams. if it makes any sense to call `read', your stream is not binary. why do you want to call `read'? what kind of data is transmitted? `read' is supposed to ditch whitespace, and both CR and LF are whitespace, so I see no reason (and no way!) to distinguish between them -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) Micros**t is not the answer. Micros**t is a question, and the answer is Linux, (http://www.linux.org) the choice of the GNU (http://www.gnu.org) generation. A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits. |
