It is actually a C standard thing and is *very* portable.  Almost
every other platform out there has exactly the same data representation
for both binary and text data, so most programmers are not aware of
this issue, what the default is, or if their code uses the wrong
one.  However on Windows which does have differing representations,
you will find out real quick.
