fopen: default open mode

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all,

If I use fopen, I get a warning that the default mode is now binary.  
Why? What is this warning trying to tell me? Is there a way to  
explicitly tell fopen to use ASCII instead of binary?

I have Octave 2.1.72 on Mac OS X 10.4.

Example:

> fn = tempname;
> fopen(fn,'w')
> warning: fopen: default open mode is now binary

Matthias
