Subject: crlf issue


I'm a bit puzzled at the moment by the following:

When I write out like: main() { putchar('\n'); }  I write a signle LF
to stdout. Redirecting this to a file produces CRLF. OK. 

I accept this (though it's odd). When I then do a

cat thatfile | tr -d "\015" "" >another and then dump that file
I have a sole 0x0a in the file (looking at using od). (tr was one of the
textutils ported once by Eric Backus).

I wonder if there is a way to open stdout in binary mode or some such
allowing to suppress this LF postprocessing.
