No.  If you say UNIXMODE=b then the text format is the same as the binary
format.  If you cannot guarantee that then your system is broken, and you
must remove 'b' from UNIXMODE.

Which compatibility?  All files on a POSIX system are in text == binary
format.  It's up to you to cope with that.

In a nutshell: use UNIXMODE=b only if *all* your files are in POSIX
format.
