Hello Stephan and Valery,
I think this depends on whether you open the file with
FILE* fp = fopen("fname","rb");
or
FILE* fp = fopen("fname","r");
The first case opens the file with binary mode and second text mode.
If you open the file by yourself, it is under your control to choose
between binary and text mode. As long as you use fopen(), Cint simply
behaves the same as the compiled code.
If the file is opened by ROOT or CINT utility, it is likely the mode
is binary. I think this is unlikely, but this case, we may need to
modify things in ROOT or CINT.
Thank you
