:: Binary mode also makes sense a lot of the time on Windows, where for text files the end of line is a multibyte symbol and there is an end-of-file symbol (^Z, which happens to be the official [[ASCII]] EOF character). By comparison, (linear) binary files are just a sequence of bytes. Then there's record-oriented files, but they're seriously out of favor these days; people use proper transactional databases like [[sqlite]] instead. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 12:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
