Another option is to write a "filter" that has 2 args: the 1st is the mode (-b/-t) and the second is the file name to write to. This will bypass the automatic mode setting (I have such a program for code conversion, e.g. ASCII <---> EBCDIC, and it also does End of Line conversion, so I can convert from/to CR-LF files on UNIX).
