Hi Earnie,

Thanks for your response. I still get the same results even if I link
binmode.o into the resulting executable, e.g.


mca@IBM-SPARKS ~
$ gcc -o test.o -c test.c

mca@IBM-SPARKS ~
$ gcc -o test test.o /mingw/lib/binmode.o 

mca@IBM-SPARKS ~
$ sh -c "echo \"\`./test\` -lpq\"" | hexdump -C
00000000: 74 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 61 20 74 65 73 74 20 73  this is a test s
00000010: 74 72 69 6E 67 01 20 2D 6C 70 71 0A              tring. -lpq.



Many thanks,

Mark.
