ANSI requires that binary files be opened with "wb", not "w", to
indicate that they are not text files, which is the default.

ANSI states that you may NOT rely on the format of text files to be
the same as the format of the data you get from them, and must use the
"b" option to ensure that the operating system will not do any text
translation.
