From gunixio_os2.c (in gku100.zip):

/* G U N I X I O -- UNIX i/o module for gkermit */

/*
OS/2 version: Sun Jul 1 12:24:10 2001

This copy contains changes from Dallas E. Legan
allowing compilation under IBM OS/2 3.0 with the EMX 0.9c emulation layer:
. Importation of 'text' flag (declared in gkermit.c).
. Add "b" to modes in open() calls for binary-mode transfers.
. Use rename() instead of link().

Build using gcc and sysv makefile target, then:
. emxbind -bs gkermit
. lxlite gkermit.exe
The result is useful only if you can redirect its standard i/o to a
serial port or network socket.

Integration with primary gunixio.c file:
. Importation of text flag ok.
. It's probably OK to to change open modes for UNIX to include "b".
. Selection of link()/rename() needs #ifdefs, e.g. __EMX__.
. Alternatively, we could use rename() in UNIX too, because unlike
link()/unlink(), it's atomic. But it's not portable to all UNIXes
so a more complicated selection method would be required, as in C-Kermit.
