One further distinction:  reading a text file as "file" automatically 
converts line endings for the specific platform to returns, & writing 
to "file" converts returns to platform-specific line delimiters; 
whereas reading & writing "binfile" preserves the line endings in the 
text.

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
