If your assumption is POSIX||Windows, yes, assuming text files are either same as binary or just do silly \r\n stuff is fine.

I'll handle violations of this assumption with the same priority that I handle non-two's-complement

I'm still waiting for that new 9-bit char CPU w/ a C compiler, just because it would be twisted and hilarious!

A while back I asked on vcfed "how did non 8-bits communicate over 8-bit channels", and didn't get a response (they didn't?).
