   Indeed - because PDPCLIB's implementation of fopen()   
   needs to do the open syscall (INT 80H EAX = 5H).   
      
   fopen already knows whether the file is being   
   opened as text or binary, and I don't want that   
   information lost when I do that interrupt above.   
   Even though Linux (currently, and very likely   
   forever) won't use it, PDOS/386 has a use for it   
   (in the short term).

   I don't think that is an accurate statement.   
      
   What behavior, where?   
      
   Adding an extra flag doesn't change the behavior   
   of anything anywhere, immediately.   
      
   PDOS/386 would then be in a position to have a   
   particular behavior, but it's not really a   
   change, is it? It's new development/enhancement.
