I've got a program that does a read() call to read a block from
a file. The program works perfectly under UNIX and Linux, but when
I compile it on djgpp, it gets hung up on a 0A (line feed) character
and doesn't read it. As a result, when I tell it to read 16 bytes
where there's a 0A in the block, only 15 are read.

What do I need to do to open the file in a true binary mode, with
no CR/LF translation going on?
