The point being that the config files are opened with AllocateFile(), which in turn calls fopen(). It doesn't use open(). The proposal was only to make all *open()* calls do it binary. I was under the impression that on Unix, that's what open() did, so we should behave the same?That seems just weird. I do not think there's any correlation between whether we use open or fopen and whether the file is text or binary. Even if it happens to be true right now, depending on it would be fragile.
I agree. If you really want something like that you should invent OpenConfigFile() or some such. But it hardly seems worth it.
