On Windows it will write lines ending in LF only instead of CRLF. Most tools to read text files should be able deal with that by now, conditioned as they are by many years of Unix developers doing Windows stuff on the side. (Somebody should test what Notepad does though. :-) I don't know any other supported platforms where O_BINARY exists and is not a no-op (but I haven't really looked :-).
