Agreed.

PureC *does* CRLF->LF->CRLF conversion in the library unless the files
were opened with "b" mode ("rb", "wb+" etc.). That way, programs behave like
they should (they never get to see the CR when processing ASCII files), yet
you get correct CRLF-terminated files.

Some MSDOS libraries seem to do the same thing. And as the programmer should
know if he is dealing with ASCII or binary files, there is no problem with
that conversion, so IMHO the Mintlib should do it, too.
