Not really. They're not human-editable! Leave 'em alone. Keeping them in binary mode is a clue to people that they aren't *supposed* to go mucking with them via text processing tools. > Does anybody see any problems treating them as text files?

I'm dead in the water on Windows now -- VC6 refuses to open the new & improved .dsw and .dsp files. I *imagine* it's because they've got Unix line-ends now, but haven't yet checked. Can you fix it or back it out?
